Wasn’t out much at all last week what with the torrential rain, but had a few hours up at Pendreich on Saturday Afternoon. It was a mild if a little breezy day and not overly bright so I hoped it might be good for daytime fishing. Not had the boat out for a while , so with the wind being gusty I decided to take advantage of it not being in use and took it out. One advantage being you can always cast with the wind behind you wherever you are!

I have not fished my “local” Swanswater for a while, between having the “free” fishing through the club at Pendreich and being committed to the Carron Valley MacMillan competition a few weeks back my resources have a finite limit to afford other pay as you go fisheries.

It’s been a blowy couple of days and really fly fishing at my usual haunts has been knocked out due to the direction and intensity of this Easterly wind. However it usually drops of an evening and I was “encouraged” by my better half to go out for a couple of hours last night up to my local fishery, Swanswater. The two bottom ponds are pretty sheltered from the wind so should be fishable.

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. So I waited a few hours and went up to Swanswater to catch the last of the sun’s rays and hopefully get the evening rise (if there was one).
