Set off from Aberdeen last thursday for a few days fishing at home. Steve was my wingman and being an experienced float tuber i saw it as an oppertunity to get my waterwings.
First attempt was not such a great success maybe contributed to by the late night, red wine and whiskey
Once i got afloat i was actually more excited by crusing around the lough than fishing but i eventually managed this fella
No beauty but my first fish in my new tube so happy days
That evening we headed north to join up with a group from the "fly fishing forum" for two days on the mighty Lough Corrib.
We were based in Greenfields and its a great spot frequented by trout bums of many nationalities and ranging in age from nine to ninety, at least for the mayfly madness
The mayfly were up alright but not yet in huge numbers. We all managed fish and i was lucky enough to connect with this fella
Weighed at 4.25lbs and thats probably a new pb wild trout for me
Heres a few more pics and im sure steve will add a few more of his crackers and maybe the late night tubing lessons
Noel.
