No pics guys, sorry. I had an interesting day on Dochfour today with Grant Sutherland, but the day wasn't laced with springers
It is a nice piece of water that I will make a return trip to again this year, I was on the upper beat and there was just me fishing with Grant to keep me right. Practical upshot of the day was one kelt landed, two pulls or 'maybes' that were good long hard pulls but came to nothing. Actually, one of those pulls just about pulled the rod out of my arm...... but nothing came of it.
One fresh fish seen and a great rise of trout to olives between 11am and 'lunch'.
Learning points for the day:
1. Sort fly boxes out before going fishing, don't believe that divine intervention in the form of order from chaos will actually take place
2. Practice my casting or better still just 'get out' and fish more often.
3. A month and a half after quitting, I can confirm that I do
not need nicotine when fishing. Being out fishing is now my high...... man
4. A full day by the river is more tiring than I remember. I'm fair scunnered
5. I am now a fan of the Partridge 'Patriot' tube fly singles. They're good and long wing flies don't get 'tied up' like they can with doubles.
