Four hours credit in hand I made my way up to the main loch and found a spot that allowed me to fish into the bank that was down wind, the wind was pretty strong at times but I fanced keeping to the down wind side to see if fish were following along with the stuff you seem t hear and read a lot that you should try fishing in to a wind at these sort of venues rather than taking the easy option and getting the wind behind you. Well it did nothing for me, I never had a touch on the beaded Fireman lure I started with on a floating line. The floater was adequate with a long leader to allow me to be sure my fly was getting down up the top end as I was catching bottom now and again.

I also noticed how green the wee caddis grubs were so I changed my point fly for another small black bug with a green tag to see if it made any difference. Almost right away I had another fish though I have to say as I fished down there seemed to be a marked preference for my wee black bug with a red butt tag. Size wise it was near identical to the cased caddis and I do think this is what the fish were on.

As we made our way we thought some water we were passing looked worth somewhere to float a trout or Grayling so he entered upstream of me. I think John decided he wanted to keep loose before me and after a few minutes he was out and heading upstream again. I decided to stay with it here , the brown water was a little shallow but I hoped I might find a little deeper water within reach so decided to stay dookin’ it out. After covering a fair bit here I wasn’t showing much signs of squeezing a lump out of here so found a spot to exit and headed on up myself.

I was though thinking about this daft, frustrating sport of ours. I seen a few posts on one of those Groups that pops up on facebook of anglers new to the sport complaining that they had been out a few times and never caught a thing. Fly fishing is NOT an easy sport. If it was the easiest form of fishing, our angling shops and tackle emporia would not be able to move live or dead bait, spinners or other lures. Everyone would be fly fishing. You wouldn’t be able to walk by a stretch of life supporting water without being lashed by a fly line.
