Oct 3rd Loch Bhac paradise

No doubt that this is my number one hill loch and today was only my 2nd visit this year, a rare treat. The trek for 3 miles through forestry commission tracks to a car park that makes you ask was this a mistake? A further 5 minute walk down a muddy tree lined path finally opens out to this glorious fishing spot. Magnificent views, a good chance of an Osprey visiting, a good chance of having it to yourself, cracking fishing and not expensive. Who wants to work?

Aug 18th South Uist brown trout

It's been a good break but disappointing from a fishing point of view so I was glad to get the rod out today. Typical the sky was too blue, the wind too light, the midgies horrendous but I caught 6 fish at Loch Dun na Cille on South Uist. Really hard bank walking, no wading as immediate drop offs into deep water. This excellent example of a wild brown trout, good tail, was the 2nd best of the day but still a good fish.

Jul 31st Nice broonie

It is a stockie but a nice example of a broonie that fought much harder than its size suggested, a nice fish.
