The
Presidents Creel
Fellow
members and
hopefully new members, what will the new season hold for us after a
long cold winter the first for a few years?
From my
personal
experience after long cold winters I have found the following seasons
very productive. I find the fish especially brown trout appear to feed
with little regard to safety i.e. they want to grab just about anything
we offer them. Having checked back my old diaries, this definitely
seems to be the case; maybe the fish and yourselves will prove me wrong
I hope not!
I was
fortunate last
year to be invited to join some friends to fish LOCH WATTEN plus one or
two lochs in CAITHNESS what a joy this long held ambition proved to be,
great company plus really first class fishing for wild brown trout amid
spectacular scenery, not to mention the thunder and lighting! All this
took place in June, and later in August a fishing pal and myself Jeff
went to Orkney for a week. I have fished the Orkney lochs over the
years, for Jeff it was a first, the picture I had painted of fishing
and life in Orkney did not disappoint him so much so we are going back
this year, Jeff says it is a must for wild trout fishing. If you fancy
it check out the Orkney
Trout Fishing Association
web site
and the Kirkwall Hotel you wont be disappointed.
The
association is
still struggling on we really desperately require more members to
continue. If any one reading this has any interest in joining, or has
any ideas how we can move forward in a viable manner, please contact
any of the office bearers as listed. The past season proved
disappointing in numbers of members, but those who did join the "usual
suspects " had some excellent sport at the various venues fished, with
some notable catches in difficult conditions. For example the Strachans
father and son both Ian at Loch Vennacher, Jeff Mowatt at Lake of
Mentieth , we also had a memorable day at Midmar Fishery in October the
day of the gales up to 100 mph, a wind turbine was blown over on the
island where Arron Greig was fishing! but we still caught lots of fish.
So what
of the new
season will the salmon and sea trout return? Bill Taylor managed a
small grilse off the Bervie,and Ian Strachan junior a fine 12lb Salmon
off the Luther. This is encouraging but they will only be caught if we
have members to fish for them. Once again don’t hesitate to
connect us on the listed phone numbers if you have any queries we will
do our best to help you.
Wishing
you all a
successful season in 2009
Tight
Lines
and heavy creels!

McLean
