Several fish seen. Jane S had a brief encounter in the Summerhouse pool, Lars R had a fish boil at his fly with me […]

Dalmarnock 5th April
It has stopped raining at last, however now replaced with blazing sun – are we ever happy? But at least the river is dropping back. Anyway, it was a truly lovely day on the river even if we only saw one fish, which totally ignored a fly put in front of it. Sadly therefore nothing […]
Dalmarnock 5th April 2019
Water 2ft 1in after 7 inch rise during the day yesterday spoiled what were just coming to be perfect conditions, though teaching 5 novices wasn’t giving us much actual fishing. Encouraging to see at least five fish moving through during the day. Hope we might get a chance today.
Trout Course 23rd March 2019
Another perfect day conditions-wise. Mild, overcast and a slight breeze.

A good midge hatch assisting our efforts and a first brace of trout for John B in addition to the […]

MURTHLY 8th – 13th 2019 – I have now had responses from my Murthly regulars, only to hear that one poor chap’s daughter has decided to get married at that time and he cannot go. Thus I have one rare spare space on the Monday to Wednesday Improvers and one rod remaining on the three […]
