Interesting.
More in desperation than expectation, I went into the hills yesterday to see if it was possible to go fishing. Despite several days of rain, the burns were surprisingly low but it was bitterly cold (4'C on the car's gauge) and the cloud level was not far above me and certainly well below the level of the lochs I had in mind to fish.
Perhaps frustrated by the cloud level over the lochs, I watched an Osprey trying to fish on a tiny trackside lochan (that I know has trout because I put 5 in last year!).

The Conon was running at 6 or 7 degrees last week, and the lack of rising trout compared to usual was noticeable.

Alex was telling me the Clyde is the same. Good hatches but not a lot or risers.

Up where we are Heilan has turned to soup, as happens frequently. Caught 22 or so from Yarrows but only one on Watten. 30 mph steady today, temp at 6. Halladale moors tomorrow so fingers are crossed !!! Fleece trousers and chesties for the tube !

[Bobfly]

Worth a mention ... 1st of May, first day for Heilan, a 19 lbs brown. May be a new record as 15 lbs and some ounces was the previously mentioned biggie !!!!!!

Toby who we rent the hoose from up there said a few big 1s have been caught...think he had an 18 pounder. He reckons a 20 will come off it this year.

Is watten well up with all the rain of late Vaughan?

Wow! Was it returned?

There were three fish caught last week.  One a shade over 15lb, one a shade under followed a day or two later with one just over 20lb.
