This years fishing trip is to the Assynt area of the Northwest Highlands of Scotland.
I had never fished here though and it has been a long time ambition to fish a couple of the literally hundreds of Brown trout occupied lochs and lochans in this area.

A quirk of fate made it happen this year and the trip is underway. I am being a bit of a Kenny “nae mates” being up here on my lonesome but it does mean I can do my own thing to my own timetable and with my own particular brand of faffing about, without bothering anyone.

I was thinking, back down the Clyde at Lamington again ( a bit of a drive), maybe the Earn ( though might be busy with Salmon anglers given recent high water), or an explore into areas I have less experience of, on the River Devon. On Sunday evening the decision was made. Carron Valley Reservoir!

When I got up there it was evident there is still a LOT of water coming down off the higher ground and it was very peat stained. Right away I was thinking this might be a bit of a dead loss. I think I have encountered high water here once before and it was very hard to find a fish, in fact, that time I think I blanked which is unusual on the burn.

I headed to my regular parking spot for this section and I was astonished how many other vehicles were there. There must have been 5 cars parked up. Usually, there might be one here already ( if any), five had me wondering if I would find anywhere to fish. I needn’t have fretted though ( is it just me that gets weird about finding my own space when fishing?), one chap left while I was gearing up, I didn’t see where he came from ( up or downstream) but I did notice he looked like he was moving elsewhere, as he drove off fully kitted. A bad sign maybe?

I took a drive along to the Tait’s Tomb area of the River Devon and supposing I never cast a line, I would reacquaint myself with a section of the Devon I probably haven’t fished in at least five years and frankly couldn’t remember much about, though I probably fished here more than anywhere on the river.
