Fished Marnoch Lodge on the Deveron today. Started out fishing for salmon unfortunately no springers did see one fish and landed a kelt about 7lb.
Around 12 o’clock started to see the odd olive popping off then notice a few trout rising so went back to the car and set up the trout rod. I picked up a new Rio LT trout line from Frank at turriff tackle when I got my permit so wanted to give it a bash. Took a bit getting used to. After missing about 5 rises in a row landed my first brownie of the year
. Took a olive emerger might not be the biggest but i was chuft.
Olives continued to come off till around 4:30 a few nice fish were rising despite it being bitterly cold.
Stoped around 5:30 as was soaked and freezing waded a bit to deep trying to reach a beauty at the far bank
Off to Fetternear on the Don tomorrow so hopefully get my fist salmon of the year.
