Unhappy Beecraigs

Are any of the Beecraigs regulars concerned about this water,some of my mates were up and the fishing was poor in reasonable conditions and the fish caught were horrible with fins missing straggly tails,not how I remember the fish although it is ages since I was there.

Don't go very often myself but every time I have went the fish have been of a poor standard.

Hope that's not always the case for regulars?

Aye Dougie,

Do you remember this stump-tailed mutant you had there during a trip with Jim?

I was there 3 wks ago,I did not find the fishing that difficult,but others did. the fish were OK, not brilliant, but OK. I had 1 of 7lb and a friend had a nice fish of 10lb and a not so pretty 13lb'er.
