Wasn’t out much at all last week what with the torrential rain, but had a few hours up at Pendreich on Saturday Afternoon. It was a mild if a little breezy day and not overly bright so I hoped it might be good for daytime fishing. Not had the boat out for a while , so with the wind being gusty I decided to take advantage of it not being in use and took it out. One advantage being you can always cast with the wind behind you wherever you are!

Anyway, I decided on Saturday today was going to be the day I tried to get the big fish in the remote deep run on the wee burn. Regular readers might remember me mention this stretch in previous outings. To recap, on our initial explore of the burn I spotted a section that looked very fishy but the wind made casting impossible. When I returned and fished it I got a few fish from the pool but right at the head of the pool I missed a fish that rolled on my fly, that looked way bigger than anything else I have seen in the burn. Did giants live here? Only one way to find out.
