The 'Young Gun' and I decided the next visit to Forgue would be Yesterday, so after some dodgy sat-nav directions along with dirt-track roads we finally arrived to fish it. It was good to see a lot more fishers chucking fluff at Forgue this time around, with about 10 others there already fishing. It really is a diamond in the rough, and to be honest, it's my favourite loch to fish around here.
We started at 12pm and fished till 6, with us having a near 40 fish between us
At start, the unheard of t-shirt weather in October was proving tricky - the fish were there, but just weren't in the mood. We tried plopping foam beetles, ceramics and the trusty stalking bugs on their noses.. but they just weren't satisfied. Even the confidence in my size 10 grasshopper that took 10 last time around was beginning to drop rapidly!
Liam finally broke the deadlock, and after then it was plain sailing. Some very nice fish to be had, including this belter of a rainbow for Liam:
It's true to say that near every fish we've had since fishing Forgue has been absolutely immaculate.
It's certainly worth a go, a bit of a drive for some - but just £10 for a whole day you certainly won't be disappointed!
