Kev and I went up there last night.
Due to crap traffic we didn't get on the water until just after 19.00, on what looked like a cracking evening. There were no rises visible but it looked promising. Got the boat launched and set off for the burn inflow. The wind changed for what was going to be the first of many times and we ended getting pushed straight at the bank.
We fired up the motor and came back round to the edge of the calm water below the north bank. Loads of fish rising, but no wind. Still we got a couple before getting back into the good drift wind. Picked up a few more in the ripple before trying the burn again. Another couple there too.
It then got cold, with a biting wind coming off the south shore and the dark descended. Bye bye fish and bye bye us!
All in all it was fun on a really pretty night. The fish had to be targeted rather than just cover the water. See a rise, drop your flies on it and get ready for action. The fish were not huge but good fun as always, although we did see some better fish moving and I had a really solid draw that wasn't a sprachle. Dropped it...
The flies? Very large to very small, static and pulled, #8 long shank to #16 dry.
It was just one of those nights...
