1. Never use a white fly.
2. Don't leave the house
3, always wear trousers.
4. Don't eat the yellow snow
Put the feet up and pour a giant single malt.
Perhaps No 5 was to do with brown snow :shock: :shock: :shock:
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.
High winds and sleet here yesterday till around 6oclock when it just stopped and the sun came out . I pondered for about 20 minutes quickly got the rod and went up to my local dam I had 12 wild brownies on dunkeld and a kate maclaren. :lol: it was still freezing though.
