Early season will find me wandering the banks of a bit of running water searching for a rod bender or two moving to March Broons or LDO's and progressing throught May to early June onto the Blue Wings.
Or bobbing about in the tube on a near local Loch searching for some nice (often rod bender quality) troots feeding on a selection (mostly buzzers early on but olives as we progress through May)
Then it's the lure of higher waters through June (as well as a wee foray to Orkney in search of olive, buzzer, cow dung and shrimp feeding broons, or an odd throw with a big flashy flee in the brine for thier salt cousins)
July and thoughts turn to Mayflee waters and we are lucky to be blessed with one or two crackin ones as far spread as Assynt, Sutherland and Caithness.
August and it's time for the Sedge or Daddy feeders when some serious sport can be found in the most unlikely of conditions. Troots in the prime of condition hard on the top, magic
September and it's back to the running water olive feeders for a late big troot bash, or a continuation of the August loch feeders. Short lining in the big waves can produce some memorable sport, and as the month progresses the colours of the fish become fantastic.
Aye roll on another season, i canne wait.
