Got back from my week away at the folks house just south of Lochinver on Saturday ( just moved house so got internet back tonight). and I am still knackered

My wife and I drove up from Yorkshire on midnight Saturday, arriving there at lunchtime Sunday with a few stops on the way for fuel and dog walks. By 6 o'clock I was scuttling up the hills towards my favourite lochan.



Whereapon I caught several brownies on a black legless hopper



The different lochs produce different colours of fish.



Decided to loch hop after a while to get a better breeze to keep the midges away






Suliven in the distance.




Brock wondering what all the fuss is about He slept for a whole day at home afterwards.

Wonderful stuff Plodge! Close scrutinisation of me map leads me to believe you may have been on Loch a Ghille (photo 5,6)?

Consider me envious!

Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glen-Car,
In pools among the rushes
That scarce could bathe a star,
We seek for slumbering trout
And whispering in their ears
Give them unquiet dreams;
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Over the young streams.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

wow, what amazing pictures! I hope I find somewhere this beautiful to fish one day!

Beautiful.

Thank you for posting.

Absolutely spot on It's a loch I always fish when I'm up there, even if I don't mean to. There are so many close together that it's almost easier to change your loch rather than your flies

Lochs Beannach and Ailsh are favourites up that way for me.
