A Good Day

Friday was another cold day, in fact it snowed all the time. Ross Mcgregor managed to get a couple on the fly again including a wee sea trout, but a hard shift so fair play to him.
By Saturday morning there was a slight thaw with the water above the stone and rising but the river was clear and the sky was blue. Ross was back with Jim Kilgour and between them took 4 kelts on the fly from the bank in the morning whilst Greggor Nimmo and Peter also landed 4 and lost a few from the boat.
We were all looking forward to a busy afternoon and were joined by Jock Tait after the the break. Well the boat went from top to bottom without a touch and the lads on the fly were seeing no more action also. However - at about 3.30 a shout came from the direction of the five trees and Mr Tait. A beautiful 8lb sea liced springer to the copper toby had been successfully landed and returned - fantastic stuff Jock! And that was the only pull off the afternoon - easy.
