Hi Folks,
Been a while since I have been here and I have quite enjoyed catching up on some good threads!
In the interim, I have just moved to close by the Noran Water. It is quite enchanting along here with gorges and tree-lined/choked banks. Yet to do any proper fish-spotting but it must be relatively productive and I read in the History of Brechin to 1864 that it was noted for its trout then? Though I also read that one derivation of Brechin might be Place of the Small Trout. If I knew that before I came I might not have come, and discovered the joys of salmon!
Anyway, I was just wondering what anyone knew of the Noran Water. I am not looking for 'directions' - I am happy to explore it myself. But, for example, I just found out my main haunt, the Westie, had its Loups dynamited in the 1920s or so, to open its spawning grounds. So I reckon it's always worth asking because you never know what you might learn? Even a tale or two ... and I'll probably report back at some point on how many branches I have caught, flies lost and numbers of times on me earse ... or afloat? It looks like it could be like that ...
Cheerly,
Andy
