Bright nights at Swanswater

Bright nights at Swanswater

Posted by | Wednesday, April 27, 2011 | , , , |

Was a cracking day yesterday and having the day off was keen to get out for a few hours. I took a run up to Pendriech but it was pretty busy (by its standards) and the wind was blowing right into the dam end. As the most easily fished area was going to be the south bank and most of the anglers were already there I decided to cut my losses and head elsewhere.

I found out about a place not too far from home where there were reputedly Brown trout, my own investigation led me to believe there were indeed and after a few phone calls and emails I managed to get permission to fish the loch occasionally.

The boat would be fine though fishing along the East bank so decided to get kitted up and give it a go.

As I was kitting up I spotted a Lizard scampering across the gravel of the car parking area. A Lizard?! Surely not.
