On call this weekend so can’t venture far. Went up to Pendreich just after 12 thinking the afternoon looked like it was going to brighten up.
As I drove up it got darker and darker and was utterly tipping it down by the time I arrived.
I just had to sit it out until it let up a bit so I could get tackled up.
I went up to Pendriech for a wee hour and a half last night, seemed like a beautiful evening until you popped your head above the dam wall level where a force 5 Easterly was belting in carrying the North Sea chill with it! But there were a couple of anglers out on the East and North bank, so nothing ventured……

It’s been a blowy couple of days and really fly fishing at my usual haunts has been knocked out due to the direction and intensity of this Easterly wind. However it usually drops of an evening and I was “encouraged” by my better half to go out for a couple of hours last night up to my local fishery, Swanswater. The two bottom ponds are pretty sheltered from the wind so should be fishable.

I was itching to get out yesterday evening, was a cracking day and as the weekend is likely to be blown out got to make the most of opportunities. However, the wind is currently Easterly and that’s not good for fishing up at Pendreich. Aside from the wind, I thought it might be busy with so many on holiday just now. I took a run up mid-afternoon and was surprised there was no one there, though seeing the waves coming across the loch and the wind slamming into the Dam wall, maybe I should not have been.

Was a cracking day yesterday and having the day off was keen to get out for a few hours. I took a run up to Pendriech but it was pretty busy (by its standards) and the wind was blowing right into the dam end. As the most easily fished area was going to be the south bank and most of the anglers were already there I decided to cut my losses and head elsewhere. So I waited a few hours and went up to Swanswater to catch the last of the sun’s rays and hopefully get the evening rise (if there was one).
