Had my second visit to Lintrathen last week and much warmer than last time but still tricky conditions - wind was damn fickle - sport was slow with only the occasional fish showing but loads of fish coming short. Chopping and changing fly size/depth/speed made liitle difference so as I had taken the 'whole' armoury with me I tried out a superfast sink and white lures to see if anything would have a go...... result was plenty of Perch to about 1lb and one Brownie about 1lb on the sinker.
But no 'bows.
After lunch the conditions were ideal and I switched back to a floater and loch patterns, hard going (even the brownies) but managed a brace of 'bows for 5 1/2lb, one belting overwintered fish about 3lb which took my favourite 'adapted' claret bumble and had me into the backing more than once
Euan
sadly wasn't blessed with the same fortune as I, but as he lives considerably more local to Lintrathen than I do it's likely he'll be back again soon to get some practice in to show me up next time
Nice to get out onto a 'big' loch and fish 'loch' style, so much so that I thought a wee forum outing might be a plan
Anyone interested
Plenty of boats available and £45 for 2 rods fishing 10am-5pm with a bag limit of ten in the boat isn't too bad.
Can't say when exactly, but I'd like to go back again before seasons close.
