2012 Trout Season – you were like a batshit crazy girlfriend!
That is correct, you were like a crazy girlfriend. On one hand you promised so much (the sex was good) however on the other you turned up at crazy times at my house and made unreasonable demands. You were like two separate people, the problem was the crazy part far outweighed the good part. The good part of the relationship…

3rd time unlucky…
As we were walking back to the car I spoke about every reason for why we should have caught some monsters. The Pike were their! I had caught them there at this time in previous years. We had huge flies. I had read some stuff on the Guru McFluffchucker site. You cannot have a third…
Skunked!
Awake at 4am. Picked up at 5.55am Arrived at 6.30am It rained on and off. Cast over a hundred times with streamers and an amazing popper that went Gloop, Gloop, Gloop! Caught one Pike of a few pounds. Left the loch at around 10am. Alex turned to me and said “that was totally shite”. I…
Back to the wee burn…
I have really been enjoying the wee burn that I discovered a few weeks ago. It is strange as I have worked near it for years and have always wanted to have a cast on it for just as long and it is only now that I have finally got around to it. I am now…
