Was just wondering if anybody heading to the lake for the early morning session ,weathers to be not to bad so should be good hopefully should be as good as last year ,had loads on dries fish never stopped rising all morning cant wait

see ya there changeboy!, even managing to drag charlie along for this one

The ICE CREAM MAN is coming back to the lake, yeha cant wait for ma cone........ See you there guys....and dont be late or we will get them all first

what a fantastic mornings fishing we had at the lake this morning, rising fish covering the whole lake from start to finish. me and my boat partner charlie had over 30 fish to our boat,with lots more dropped, follows, big bow waves it was amazing and from what i was seeing most of the other boats were catching on a very regular basis aswell-perhaps they can post here and tell you there experience for themselves. i fish menteith fairly regularly and the two early morning shifts they do each year are really special, if you have never done the early morning i cant recommend it enough, the next one is on saturday july 12th and i know that there are still boats available-so dont miss out, phone up and get your name down you wont regret it!!. ONLY CHANGE TO NORMAL PROCEDURE IS THAT YOU MUST TAKE YOUR ELECTRIC MOTOR as the petrol engines are not to be used to avoid waking up the neighbours.

Will second that robbo, we too had quite a number of fish to our boat aswell.The one thing i will say about the early morning shift is i cant get over the amount of fish rising............If you fish the lake often you need to fish one of these early sessions just to realise how many fish are in there and how BIG some of them are......I will definately be there in July.

Spoke to Douglas last night who said that the turnout was poor with only 8 boats. If they do not get a better turn out they will not repeat the sessions next year / in future so put the word out and get some bookings

Hi Guys ,
Had one of the best days fishing Ive had in years lost count how many fish me and my partner had to the boat most of the fish we caught were fish that were in for a while the fight was excellent, biggest est 5lb bar of silver all at the cages area all on dries.As most people who know me know l fish the lake regularly on day and evening sessions. I can whole heartedly say that the opportunity of fishing the early morning rise is in my opinion an experience that should not be missed by any angler. From the beginning to the end session you are covering rising fish with most casts. For these sessions not to be repeated next year would be an absolute shame, so anyone who's considering trying it give douglas or quint a phone and book a boat to help make sure this fantastic fishing is kept on for next year

i'll be there on the 12th anyway! see ya there bah bah and changeboy for another great mornings fishing, the ice cream man's no comin this time bye the way bah bah

who else on the forums goin?

think i.ll give it a go it sounds brilliant , fish the lake 4am till 9am then over to north third for a club outing straight after its a hard life eh

Hi guys , unfortunately i'm away on my hols when the next early morning is on so there wont be any free cornettos but as its already been said well worth getting up for , might tell the missus its on every week and get a 2nd wife or something along they lines !!!!!!
