Well, it was interesting weather that greeted us on our trip south, but it it did break just before our first venture down the river.
Hard work though, although the best pool was already occupied (switch settings to HD1080 for best results
)
https://youtu.be/m6jYUL-SSpsAfter an evening of getting eaten by midges, the fish were found in a single pod, but not by me
Getting back later it did look like the Aliens had landed, but it was a great base camp for the 3 days.
A lovely morning greeted us day two and Mr B set a precedent for much of the trip
We spent a good amount of the day searching out fishable water, and the guys did find a few fish, i resorted to Strip,Strip, Set, but without the set
it was exciting at times but hard work for little reward.
Saturday the river had settled down a bit more and the pockets gave up some of their residents, beautiful yellow coloured fish from the Annan
With the sun making life look fab, it was a day to explore.
And although some of the weaker rocks were feeling broken by the conditions
I gloried on to try and catch that elusive Grayling, eventually i got one, but they proved to be very tough to photograph, even the camera went into a spin.
I kept the next one over the net for its mug shot
only wee, but hard won
So a great trip away, great company, good food, decent fishing despite the conditions.
Thanks to the guys who came down and looking forward to the next one
Sandy
