Well, the day finally came round and to start with at least it really could not have began in a nicer fashion. The sun was out, there was barely a breath of wind and things looked set for a great days fishing.

If you are a bit of a Blackadder fan you will understand the title.
Out a wee walk with the missus and the dog last night and went up to one of the private lochs I have permission to fish occasionally.
went back up the wee burn I fished on the bank holiday, when out with the family. I only had limited time to fish then, and never had a net or waders so access was a bit tricky in places and there were a few runs that looked massively inviting and sure to hold fish but the wind made them all but un-fishable. Also I lost a “favourite” fly on a bush that ordinarily I would have simply waded over to and retrieved and it was sort of bugging me as I knew exactly where it was, in the words of the US Marine Corps, or whoever it is, “never leave a man behind”, I went back for it.

Well, summer arrived on Friday and I wasn’t going to miss it, so took a halfy from work and headed up to North Third for the late session, 16:30 to 22:30. At £18 including the hire of a boat and a 10 fish bag limit, with C&R also allowed, this has to be good value, maybe the best in the area amongst commercial fisheries?
