Pity i missed you guys yesterday, the girl in the hotel didn't know anything about the fishing and the bits i looked were obviously where you weren't.
Anyway plenty fish (about 20 or so) for me yesterday all on the dries (DHE withoot tails Goolager
) some good pound plus stamp in the fast water (already).
Graham nailed a nice NF 2lb plus on a bit of water i ignored
to go with the Rod Bender Trophy he nailed the day before (on another bit of water i'd ignored
)
Almost all fish sighted and nailed rather than fishing blind.
One oot the fast water.
Nailed a couple of Seatroot kelt as well, nice wee distraction but n ot the trophies i was looking for
Tourist
But good as Saturday was for me Friday was better, not for numbers (five or six total) but for quality and landed the first Trophy and NF (noteable fish) of the season. Trophy (Rod Bender) = 3lb plus, NF = 2 - 3lb.
First fish of the session and camera as well as scales oot coming in at a nice 3lb 4oz
Rod Bender no1 2014
Proper Fish
Later sighted another that tipped the scales at 2lb 8oz so pretty chuffed, especially when Graham nailed a PB as well.
Crackin colours
Roll on next visit and i'm sure not long before we see more of the same off the Don fae you guys
P.S. Not streamers, lures or any other sub-surface chite were harmed in the making of these outings, if yer not going to do it right don't do it at all.
