Fishing The Fly Scotland

Autumn Visits

Description: Hello all,

I've been a lurker for so long that Mike has given me a nudge to post a photo or two. I've been an occasional Don fisher for a few years, but hadn't made the trip up for at least a couple of years until this year's back end when I visited a short but bonny beat that was new to me. I went twice, with Salmon in mind. In my mind was where they remained! October 12th was a bonny day, but it felt like there wasn't quite enough water, although I did see a couple of Fish move. I was back on October 30th, having taken what proved to be an ill advised chance on booking a few days before. I was in no hurry to leave that morning, having watched river levels rise alarmingly the night before, but if you don't go, you'll never know. It dropped as the day wore on, before creeping up again in mid afternoon. As luck would have it, there was a decent pull at the fly at the very moment I was trying to avoid a mild dunking becoming what might have been a more challenging journey all the way back to the North Sea. I'll post images from the 30th next.
