I was lying in bed, it was about 9am and I was contemplating what to do. Fishing was in the plan for the day but exactly what that would entail I really was not sure. The river (Carron) was mostly discounted as it was so low last time and I don’t think there has been any rain of significance since I was out there. I could maybe go to a local fishery but wasn’t sure where….then I picked up my phone and noticed I had a missed call and there was a message in my inbox… “did I fancy some fishing today” it said, a message from Radek.

Late season, Summer Lows

I have had a hankering to get up to the Tummel recently. It’s a funny river, it can be a wee bit all or nothing. More often than not it’s nothing, but when it is good it is very good. At this time of year if the Grayling are out and about it can be a lot of fun and of course you have the bonus that the Brown trout are still fair game for another few weeks. Also as Autumn heads this way it is a bonny area to be in, especially on a nice day. Usually there is a lot of mist around on the surrounding hills and as it lifts you get the Autumn colours on display.

I went fishing for Grayling, at last, for the first time this “winter”. OK technically it is still most definitely Autumn and depending whether you opt for the meteorological definition or lunar definition, winter is still 3 or nearly 6 weeks away. That didn’t stop Jack Frost visiting overnight Friday and temperatures were as low as -7C in some parts of Scotland, though a balmy -3C here in Stirling when I headed off. Actually it didn’t seem that cold despite what the thermometer said as there was the dripping sound of a slight thaw from the trees around my house.
