Feck!
OK, which two beaches does the North Esk flow between when it meets the sea?
Google verbotten!

 

Montrose & St Cyrus

[Euan Innes]

Montrose & St Cyrus

And to get all the points what is Montrose beach known as locally?

 

[Rob Brownfield]

Stroma? Some of the Cod guys call it this, I belive its the original Norse name.

[Euan Innes]

Stroma - nope

 

[Jim Eddie]

Euan

I know the Gable Enders call the dunes the bents. This comes from Agrostis or bentgrass. Never knew there was a nick name for the Beach.

 

Jim 

[Euan Innes]

I always thought that it was the same name as the farm, at least that's what all the locals I talk to call it.
If I'm wrong then it's over to you Peter 

 

[Jim Eddie]

Kinnaber is the estate (and the bottom beat)  on the Montrose side of the Northie where it runs into the sea.

 

Jim    

[Euan Innes]

That's the one Jim 
One of these days I'm going to fish the tidal stretch.....

 

[Jim Eddie]

OK over to Peter, that was really to easy for me I was born across the road from Kinnaber, my uncle Jimmy was the keeper there

Over to you

[Dutchfly]

"Catching salmon is a misnomer. The angler does not seek to catch his quarry. The essence of fishing as a sport is that the fisherman delibrately denies himself any and every means of trapping, snaring or netting an unwilling prey into his basket. He sets himself a set of rules which effectively denies him the right to catch a fish and which ensures that success can be arrived at only when the fish catches the angler. The moment there is any deviation from this basic principle then the angler is not fishing - he is poaching."

- who wrote this?
- what is the title of the book?



Jeroen

[Jim Eddie]

OK I'll guess

Hugh Falkus
Salmon fishing

 

Jim

[Dutchfly]

[Dutchfly]

Here's a hint: the man in question is well known for the special way he tied his salmon flies.


Jeroen

[Eddie Sinclair]
