Last post by arawa - Yesterday at 09:07:12 PMJust one trip for me to a favoured hill loch at 1800 ft.
Much colder than I had expected but I picked up 6 very lively trout. All taken on a dry that was cast to a rising fish.
Great day out but the treks are getting harder🙄.

Last post by Laxdale - Yesterday at 08:04:00 PMI had an interesting discussion with a squad of squaddies, their NCO and an arsehole guide/instructor on the Conon last week. I strongly suspect the instructor will not be back. He picked on the wrong one to try and exercise his rights whilst forgetting the bit about his responsibilities.

Last post by Fishtales - Yesterday at 07:37:26 PMHad an overnighter at a hill loch two weeks ago and didn't catch anything. By the time I got there I was too tired to fish long anyway 
I have a video that I am trying to edit down from enormous to manageable. I think it is at one hour long at the moment and still has a fair bit to go

Last post by Wildfisher - Yesterday at 06:12:04 PMMe for a start!
Almost June and I have not wet a line. I was absolutely scunnered with the weather and floods in March and April scuppering my plans, lost the will to fish and just put my limited energies into other things - hence no reports or videos from me.
I very much doubt if I'll fish at all now in 2024, but you never know!
Almost £300 in club memberships wasted - won't be joining any clubs again!
Perhaps a season off will rekindle my enthusiasm, if not I'll start selling off my gear next year!
What about you?

Last post by Wildfisher - Yesterday at 03:01:56 PMQuote from: Jon on Yesterday at 11:28:27 AMI mentioned the python on this thread twice now. And both posts seem to have disappeared???
That's odd, I've checked the moderation log and nothing has been deleted.

Nature / The Imperative of Breeding
Last post by Bobfly - Yesterday at 10:56:53 AMWe are having the roof and its drainage completely redone and the house is surrounded by scaffolding with a three man squad clambering about.
Near the driveway is a movement triggered lamp over which I had put a small mesh guard as pigeons had taken a fancy to that as a nest ledge. The sparrows moved in and have been there throughout the year for several years.
Despite the noise and foot traffic and old slates being hurled into a skip 10 feet away the nest is a hive of activity with the birds seemingly entirely oblivious or perhaps completely determined to get on with it!
The scaffolding is being used as fresh perching. See photo 2 below of nest lamp and sparrow by the spar with yellow paint.
Well done the sparrows.
