Hmmm .... "the coracles" ..... now that was a mistake that cost me a few pounds

I have a photo of you on opening day somewhere H, I'll maybe feature it on here soon too

I had written on the back of this photo that Euan's fish turned out to be just over 4 lbs.

Cheers
Mike

Found it ..... Hamish with a lively Haddo trout from one of the 'coracles', on opening day at the fishery back in 2002

Hamish and I ended up that day targeting big doubles.
One fish of about 13lb was surrounded by 8lb tiddlers and looked like an aircraft carrier with a destroyer escort.

Mike, do you still have the photo of me and H being towed down the loch? Considering the total weight of two chaps and a boat that was one heck of a fish. Again,

« **Reply #241 on:** 27/02/2015 at 11:54 »

That was another day Euan and a heavier boat

...... I'll have a look to see if I can find those pics later

The above photo is of Hamish catching the very first fish at Haddo and on dry fly too

Cheers
Mike

And that would be confirmation that I am getting older and more senile
