Forum outing to Loch Beannie

« **on:** 01/02/2009 at 21:57 »

OK guys since we are in for an Arctic blast and I always find this time of year depressing , I though of lightening the mood by testing the waters to see who is interested in a forum outing to Loch Beannie later in the year.

Loch Beannie is a small loch a 45 minutes (less for the fitter younger dudes ) walk into the hills just south of the Spittal of Glenshee, its a shallow Limestone loch which is unusual for this part of the country , it fishes well from the bank , there is one boat available , for the more fit its not a bad walk in carrying the tube. The Loch fishes better later in the season , so I though June would be best , Lets have a vote to decide a date , Saturday or Sunday or even a week day. Its £10 for the day or £35 for a season ticket (or it was last year)

I reckon 10 or so rods would not be a problem.

This was one of my outings last year , lovely fat butterball trout http://www.fishingthefly.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1190.0

OK guys get posting your interest and what date suits best

Hi Jim,

Can you please put my name down as well, I also should be able to manage any Saturday/Sunday in June.

My preference though would be a Saturday.

Regards,
Bri.

Hi Jim

I'd love to come too, but will depend on date

Would prefer a weekday, but could manage a weekend if it suits more folk

See what Baz comes back with, and i'll drop my dates on top of those

Do I get royalties for the use of my photo on the forum?

That was a good day and I had a lot of wee fish.
I would love to go up again but don't know when I will be available.

i wouldnt mind coming sounds like fun

« **Reply #17 on:** 02/02/2009 at 18:03 »

OK folks those coming / showing an interest so far :

1. Baz
2. Mike
3. Bri
4. Sandy
5. Cameron
6. Irvine
7. Kenny
8.Paul
9. Rob (no Pike Rob as far as I know)
11. Garry
12. David Moir
13. Dave (tentative)
14.Clark
15. Dave Bruce
16, Goolangler
17. Tam
18. Noel (I'll put Noel's name down cuase I'm sure he would like the wild trout)

I would say we don't really want much more , saying that a few will drop out and the dates will not suit everyone , so one or two more names would not hurt.
There is limited parking space at Iveredrie Farmhouse (where you get the permits and where the walk in starts) so lets try and car share , I'll take Paul and David Moir , so if everyone else can try to sort it out.

This is the farmhouse where you get the permits http://www.perthshires-best.co.uk/sites/blairgowrie/Inveredrie/inveredrie.htm

Baz

Will you have you're tube sorted out by then?

Dave

« **Reply #23 on:** 02/02/2009 at 19:18 »

OK guys thats 15 , I think that would be plenty otherwise it will be like Loch Insch on a busy Saturday

If some drop out or can not manage the date , someone else can come in.

Jim

Just had a thought if we get enough interest we could split the numbers do 2 days.
