Default Harray on form



Just off the tel to John at the Merk, Harray is fishing it's socks off at the mo with 2Ib+ fish being taken most days, this week also included two 5Ib+ sea trout and John himself had a 5Ib 3oz Salmon today on a hedgehog in Merkister Bay, will hopefully be posting a pic tomorrow. Looks like I will have to add September to my months for visiting Orkney in 2010
Cheers
Gerry

That's good to hear Gerry. September always holds so much promise but doesn't always come good. Interesting though that this year alot of waters around the UK seem to be making a stylish exit from season '09. Must be some explanation.... preciptiation in June, atmosheric pressure in August... snowfall last winter I'm sure Stan has a theory... he's good like that

Havs a ball! John is so enthusiastic it is a piece of magic to fish with him. You are so lucky to be close to Orkney.
