Thanks for a good day, it was good to see a few folk that I have not seen for a while. Well done to John in breaking his tubing virginity  :z16 I'm sure that will be him converted now.

Thanks to Mike and all the guys at the gathering today, its a really peaceful way to fish and I will certainly be having a go on the hill lochs next year.

I had a great day and will be on the lookout for a tube now  :grin :grin

Another great day out with the fish keeping everyone guessing. Kev Danby had success with buzzers, Sandy Murdoch with lures and and I found that a sedgehog was the fly they preferred. Some of the other guys were having great "top of the water" sport just as we were packing up!
I have added a photo of a rainbow estimated to be around 8 lb. caught by Sandy Murdoch.
Thanks again Mike

Hi Mike,
Nice photos as usual- the third one from the bottom is interesting. How did you manage to get him to stay upside down without getting wet? Glad to see you managed to catch Jim for a change - good action shots.
All the best
Peter

Great photo's Mike :z16

Looks like the usual fun gathering. John, you'll never regret buying a tube, it is the only way to fish a loch.

Yeah, I did think something was scaring you.

I take it it's a shakey expedition tube you've bought?

They've got a good following but some can't get on with them - I love minezes.

Sure is Iain.  Hopefully we will get a few outings next year.  :z16

Must have been a Freddie Kruger fish!!!!  The first pic was how the EFF have I managed to get the tippet halfway down the rings before I have even made a cast  :z7
