Default Menteith Fish Quality

Click the image to open in full size.

Had a challenging and very rewarding day at the Lake today fishing for very spooky fish that were feeding on tiny food items amongst the leaf litter trails.There were none of the heather flies about that we had hoped for but since the fish will have been used to seeing them recently,I decided to use a H/fly imitation.The stuff they were taking would have required a size 28 anyway... Luckilly for us the fish would accept these as long as we could place it accurately enough into their paths.

I have to say, the quality of the Lake fish is excellent at the moment.Top drawer.

Five boats went missing there during a storm in the mid seventies. Some say the area is haunted by the lost souls as they were pulled down to their watery grave.

Brilliant

As you say Jimmy quality trout at the lake and they fight like stink.
Had to go up to B110s as they were straightening my usual B100s.
