   They were not feeding tonight.

They were rising every where but would not touch my flies.

They were rising every where but could not catch the cauld.

There was a good rise to night but were not taking.

'There wiz a boy in front of me fishin maggot'

'I was just lookin away for a second at that rise (eagle/deer/flower/etc etc) when it took'

and of course again the classic salmon excuse

'you should have been here yesterday/last week'

[Pearly Invicta]

A classic that I've heard many times during the blanking process.

That one is engraved on a boat at Seamaw Loch- with the addition of another word between 'nae' and 'fish'.

[Pearly Invicta]

I only fish a floating line- it's unfair to chase them when they're hiding!

[Fishtales]

It hasn't been stocked this week yet.

[Guddler]

I'm pretty sure it was on here that I heard a poster use this but "I decided to release it at distance." fair tickles me.
