Hard luck, CJoe, it's a pity we can't pick the weather to go with the fishery. Never mind, you weren't whitewashed. Just remembered, there used to be a pike or two in the loch, in fact, Andy let me fish a dead bait for them one day, down in the deep water near the outlet. Never had a pull or a run. That was a day when my old mate and I were persuaded to try Zonkers, when our normal flies weren't trying very hard; and we were getting a pull every third or fourth cast along the opposite bank to the hut. Not a lot of room for a long back cast; but the fish were really quite close in. We had some casting along the bank, and laying the line out in a mend over the water. Olive and black did well. It was a good job Ken had some in his box. Next time up, so had I!!
A nice fishery, with a gentleman in charge. Cheers, TerryC
