Well i was away for the weekend and a wee bit fishing, spent the morning wondering what i was doing wrong (possibly everything!) could'nt get a bite , then the RAIN!!! came, absolutely torrents of the stuff,so i gave up and headed for the caravan, by the time i was halfway home the sun was cracking the trees, so i thought ,i might as well take the old dog a wee ramble along this old track and see if there are any nice hazel shanks, found 5, so being the the kind of guy who believes that a bird in the hand is worth 2 in anyone elses ! i cut them and headed of for home and a shower (warm) along the side of at a wee hill burn ,i thought back to the simple days before i thought of fly fishing, so i had a wee shot along the side armed with about 8/10 feet of line tied on my new cut shank and a couple of worms , and ended up with 3 fish about 8/9 inches long, big enough to have with a bit of toast and a "wee " dram for supper, a fantastic day 5.30a.m. untill 7.pm superb just me and the dog, no hassle ,no phones, no idiotic questions ! thats what life is about !!! simplicity.
P.S. when i got back to caravan my wife said "Oh your dry it was raining here this morning" and i thought i'd missed these idiotic statements !!
Had a bit luck last night again caught this on a wee burn about 8ft wide ! not got a clue what the fly was ? (a wee brown thing ) well chuffed though it made my night,
they are two different fish ,the first one is the 3 1/2lb one that i caught a few weeks ago, i have waited all my life to catch a big(ish) fish then i get two in 6weeks ,
