Here is the latest report from the Brechin Anglling Club last Saturday , no doubt we won't get these conditions
"Brechin Angling Club held its 125 competition on Lintrathen Loch on Saturday evening and seldom in recent times has so much pleasure been enjoyed on a club outing.
They arrived to find light cloud and light winds casting a perfect ripple over the loch and Laurencekirk Angling Club members coming off the water with tales of limit bags and free-rising fish.
This was just how we found it and there seemed to be no particular fly which was doing the business and indeed everyone seemed to have done well on their own favourites.
Winner with a limit bag of six fish was Ron Gray who also had the best fish of the competition at just over five pounds.
I myself got a lesson from last year's winner, Ken Craig, who also had his limit crowned with a very good trout of just over three pounds.
Ken was fishing with his favourite fly, the Sweeney Todd, which took four of his fish, the final two on the Kingennie Green Pea, My success was on the Diawl Bach size 12.
It is good to see Lintrathen fishing so well, but there is a certain sadness to note just how few Brownies were weighed in.
It was such a delightful brown trout fishery, but such are the demands of the present day angler that they demand more and larger fish and therefore the rainbow is back in town, or should I say Lintrathen but I guess I still have Loch Lee.
One criticism… Lintrathen Angling Club – you need to do something about the condition of your boats and motors.
Your charges are high and surely some money needs spent on the comfort of your customers, I heard many a criticism over the evening and apparently this is the opinion of many of my fellow anglers. Over to you."
