Hi Guys

Myself and two other forum members tubed Loch Tay yesterday, one a virgin tuber other experinced.

14 oC, very strong wind crashing down on Kenmore, BIG wave large swell

Ended up in the shelter of the wee bay i fished last week, after a hard start finally got into fish ! Turns out the can chiefs they wanted so bad last week were usless, as were my wee kate.

Unweighted damsel took the first fish a rainbow of 11" great sport on my Dads 8' 3/4# Sonik little rod simply buckled over great fun. 3 more bows fell to my lite damsel, another 3 to my green tag hares ear (always works well when sedges are hatching) took another on a skinny black nymph.

My tubing buddys seemed to enjoy themselves both taking fish too. Agian like last week the fish were feet off the shore in a shallow bay. However the takes were solid and savage unlike last week which were very, very gentle go figure ?

Good report, sounds like you had a good day, have you changed your tube??
I don't get out eneough on mine, only 4 trips this year but I have enjoyed every minute of my floating armchair.

Thats my Dads Sparton crusier, first time i borrowed it i liked the ride slightly better than my beloved shaky (going to mod my seat )

Still say the shaky is the better tube, better value, better finishing

What's the story with the little bows, stocked, escapees or what? Any close up pics of one?
Sounds like a fun day out

Escapees mate some pillock gave permission to farm Rainbows in cages guess what ?? they get out Who could have foreseen that

Anyway none are to be returned this week there were a few smaller ones, last week they were 11.5"-14.5" mark, little blighters dont half jump cracking sport and saving the enviroment too
