Young Bazil and I fished Rescobie on Wednesday. Its a 200 acre loch a couple of miles west of Forfar. Decent boats and you can hire a leccy motor and battery if required.
It has a good head of Brownies, Perch and Pike and is stocked with Rainbows. The weather could not have been kinder, almost perfect but the fishing was hard we had to work for our fish, it was slightly less hard for Baz than it was for me.  
Highlight of the day was a nice 5lber for Baz, he also hooked into something massive , thing took off like a train, screaming reel and got off just as he got down to the backing.
Never saw what it was , could have been a Pike ?

I've tried three times over the years to fish Rescobie and thanks to you Jim it just moved up the list again.
I had also forgotten it's location and considering where I live I must have had a mad fit. Jeez, it's about 30 minutes away, what a dickhead.

Sounds like you and Baz had a great day, even the one that Baz had an LDR with.

Camera broken Jim?

it was slightly less hard for Baz than it was for me.

Maybe the north east boys will show the southern softies a thing or two when we get to grips with all this new fangled motors, sparklers, Di7's etc
 

Glad you two had a good day out

It can be a harsh mistress, its a fertile typical lowland loch surroned by arable farms so it does suffer fron algal blooms. Its an emotional place for me as my late father used to take us fishing there in the 60s. I rember the excitement the first time we went, first time I had seen Rainbow trout. Floating line is all that you really need, if you hit it on the right day it can be brilliant. The bows all seem to be super fit.

Was a fine day out and just a shame we never saw the beast that whipped all my line off in seconds. A 13lber was also weighed in whilst we were out and an other around 8lbs
