Well, it’s not gone unnoticed by me that if you want to go fishing at a weekend AND have somewhere to yourself, you can’t do much better than the day of an Old Firm derby, if you live anywhere in the central belt of Scotland. ( I suppose it might be a wee bit different in the East round Edinburgh) but certainly where I am and I would guess more so Glasgow, days when there is a Rangers v Celtic derby on means quiet waters.

I decided to have my first day out on the River Devon, that runs from Glen Devon down to Menstrie.
This was not so much a fishing trip as an exploratory trip as I really don’t know the area at all and am not sure of the best places for access or indeed for fishing, So I worked on the principle that if I started at the most “remote” end and work down I would be doing the right thing. I followed the river up to Castlehill Reservoir and went down to the top bridge on this stretch at Dunning Bridge.

I went to my club water today and though it was a gorgeous morning it was not that warm. Not cold either but needed a fleece on most of the day.There was not much activity which surprised me and so I fished some nymph and buzzers initially- a black buzzer on point, a PTN on the middle dropper and a red holo Diawl Bach on top. Nothing.

My son and I had our long-awaited afternoon out on Lake of Menteith today but it was a bit of a grueller.
We arrived up there about 11:30 and by the time we sorted out access to the boat and getting loaded up it was about 12:30. The day was bright but not sunny and initially, almost flat calm. As we launched from the boat house there was an angler landing a fish just over the buoys in Gateside Bay. So it looked hopeful for the day.
