Didn't head up till after 12 as my mate was working in Fifeshire. Up to reasonable conditions, a bit windy but 100% cloud cover and not to cold.

We lingered a wee bit for a blether with Frazer and Eeky during which time the wind blew up a bit. **** it we'll be fine Checked where the inflation thing was for the lifejacket on the way up

We made it to Burnhouse quite safely if a bit wet. Rose and missed a troot the second or third cast. My mate then got broke at the net by a fiesty rainbow.

The immortal words were uttered "a doobt we're oan tae plums the day". I was inclined to agree with him as it was blowing a near gale. How wrong I was. I ended up with 3 browns returned, and 3 Rainbows for 6lb 12oz. The ginger prince had 3 bows for 5lb 14oz and 1 broony that he put back.

The Rosie Bell probably took 3/4 of all the troot, I had 2 on a Jungle Cock Bibio type thing. The rosie is a gold red yellow damsel type thing. Absolutely lethal. Eeky is threatening to ban us from using them

We only fished for about 2 and a half hours as well. Great days sport as we were getting plenty of other offers as well. The wind was frozen though.

I had a nice over wintered one and my mate had one as well that led him a merry dance.

If you are thinking about going up in the near future I would as the troot are starving and well up for it. Cured my hangover as well

Sounds like a top day that you had.Any other catches in the returns book?

We were the only two idiots who were out today.

Hit it just at the right time I would say.

There were loads caught at the weekend. It is absolutely full of fish.

I will get up soon.We need fisheries like this one .Any sign of the ospreys yet?

Never saw them today.

I am back up on Saturday for a club competition. I'll probably get a granny
