Went out on Saturday night for an hour or so up to Pendreich, the weather had been abysmal all day- blowing the usual gale and out for a walk with the Missus later on the wind seemed to abate a little and it felt like it was warming up.

It had to happen, they finally got round to stocking Pendreich this week. Did it need it? Well it’s been fishing brilliantly since the start of the season so in my view had they not stocked it, it would have made little difference, there is no shortage of fish there- in fact a couple of weeks ago one rare flat calm evening it was like rain the patterns made by the fish rising right across the whole loch. The only benefit will be the likely uplift in average fish weights which will be nice, a larger fish now and again makes a change.

I had a wee morning/afternoon session up at Pendreich on Sunday. It was a very changeable day, not cold but a horrible gusty wind and big monsoon like rain showers. So a day for the wading gear! At least it was westerly so not as bad as of late in terms of direction.

Everything actually.

There were quite a few anglers there already but they said nothing was doing and no fish were moving. As if to contradict this- a fish jumped clean out the water about 3 yards out from the wall there and then!
