Default Craufurdland Fishery

Fished it for 4 hours C&R this afternoon, only 2 fish caught the whole time i was there and with approx 15 people fishing. Plenty of fish moving but just not taking. Into my last half hour after trying all the usual stuff ie buzzers, ptn, damsel etc i finally got a 3lb rainbow on a yellow dancer with a floating line. The other lad that caught one, got it on a millenium bug fished below an indicator..it was a 5lb beauty!
The new lodge is not finished yet but should be nice when its done.

Cheers Diarmid.

Reminds me of a story , if you fished it regularly , he used to give you a 2 fish ticket for free at christmas , whatever you caught you kept ( except broonies) . He used to stock a few goldies and he had a particular one he hand fed with bread next to hut , it was about 8lb . Had to happen , one of the boys hooked into his wee pet , got it to the net , at this point we all thought he was gonna remove hook and send it back . nope the priest came oot , right over the napper it went . Wee bill came running out the hut , you would have thought you had killed one of his own , guy was kicked off and banned , the rest of us were doubled up pi55ing ourselves..CLASSIC

Talking

Very funny Stevie!
The old boy was there today as it happens. When i arrived i asked how it was fishing..he replied "don`t know". I then asked when was the new lodge going to open..he replied "don`t know".
If it wasn`t for Buzzer Bob talking to me i would have probably got back in the car and drove off!

cheers Diarmid.
