I arrived at the Tarn by 11 ( I had it in my mind it was near Whitburn but actually it’s just outside West Calder. )
It was warm and sunny maybe too sunny for fishing and there was a very gusty wind. A lot more than at home. I went and bought a 4 hr C&R ticket, from a very nice gent in the fishery lodge and he chatted with me on how it was fishing. He was quite candid and said it wasn’t fishing as well as usual what with the recent warm weather and the rainfall of the few days before had stirred up the normally clear spring fed pond.
He also said if I was on C & R to try get the fish in quick as the warm water meant they wouldn’t recover well with the warm water. That’s fair enough, I would fish my 6/7 weight to bully them in.
