Well I finally managed to get out on this little bit of water!! I was astonished at how 'red' the water ran... It was actually blood red. Anyone know what the reason for this may be??

Well anyways I had few nice fish, although I did loose a nice one. Conditions werent great but all of them were on a size 18 dry tied/invented by myself.

Comments welcome!!!

It seems to run red just past addiewell when we have heavy rain,just under the road bridge,what part of the water where you fishing.

Picking up iron contamination, probably from an old mine, the area has lots of them.

Fished it from near the 5 sisters up the way? I chapped the farmers door a couple of weeks ago for permission, and he wasn't even aware there was any fish!! Am I correct in saying no one owns the rights?

The breich burn has no rights , You can fish it for free , Try the fauldhouse stretch around greenburn golf club , Cracking trout to be had south of the railway tunnel.

Cut my teeth on this little burn , Small dry black spiders are great when trout are rising.

Cheers
