Top weekend, thanks to Mr & Mrs H for putting everyone up.
Fished (cast into) the Alness on Saturday which was fun, nice place to be and would have been even better with some fish about, a few pics in the fishing reports section. Hopefully someone has some pics from the loch on Saturday.
Few from Saturday night which just happened to be Mr Barrios birthday evening
Mike tries to force a smile as he cuts into the first of his two birthday cakes, I hear he doesn't really do birthdays
You will eat the cake
John & Noel plan the following days poaching operations, there was a plan before it rained on Sunday and everyone turned into fair weather anglers
Shame about the awful weather on Sunday, was looking forward to getting out on a loch.
Monday was good fun, fished the Beauly Association water with Kevin & Hamish. Nice water and good to see Kevin out with the salmon rod, at times he actually looked quite excited by it.
Kev fishing not far away from the spot where the Aigas Dam tried to kill him later on in the day, I wish I had pics of that but I was more concerned about having to jump in and pull you out than locating the camera mate
You should get some credit for getting into the water that was, from the bank, very obviously far too quick to stand in safely and then going on to make a few casts whilst almost getting swept away so as not to loose face (bloody loch fishers are a liability on proper water)
Respect for that, I think ???
Lunchtime in between the showers not long after H dropped the only salmon that was encountered that day
Kev Starting to get to grips with th DHD, you were throwing some nice lines by the end of the day and almost looking comfortable by lunchtime. Cracking water for the price, considering joining the club next season.
The excitement of salmon fishing became too much for Kev either that or he got scared when he nearly went for a swim, whatever, he pissed himself so we unfortunately had to cut the day short without success.
Cheers
Ben
