Sorry to spoil the theme of this thread but I actually have fond memories of fishing Lower Duart at Scourie in a dense snow storm (could not see across the small loch). It was flat calm and the snow was coming down in huge flakes. I had caught nothing on traditional wets but then I saw fish rising to what I thought were snowflakes landing on the water. Switching to a dry (cannot remember what) I had a decent session including a finnock.
I do not have such fond memories of fishing in a snowstorm at Stalkers the previous day where the few moving fish stopped rising as the snow came on and we knew we had a 5-mile hike back to the car before us  :shock:

We will get the definitive list from Dave. It snows every year he is at Scourie!   I think he may be there right now n fact!   :lol:

Couple of years ago, fishing the upper Don on the first of May I remember olives hatching between snow showers. The snow did not seen to put the fish off rising either. Conditions were not really a snow storm but it was still snowing a bit.

Over the last couple of days I would say the combination of low air temperature and high wind speed is what put me off more.
