Time - 17.00-20.00
Water - (Roseberry outflow) Up a little but quite clear, (Edgelaw outflow) Up a little bit also & a bit peaty
Where - Temple Road Bridge down to Corner Pool & upstream to Carrington Road Bridge
Weather - Fair
Method - Bronze mepp size 2
Total - 2
Species - Brown Trout
Size - 5.5 & 9 inches
A few taps here and there but fish generally on the smaller side. Didn't really fish too much, mostly showing B about. Both caught two of same size in the same pools.
Got a tap in the Concrete Shed pool but nothing else there. The pool has completely changed its character from previou sseasons and even the reent visit in higher water. The current always ran down the far bank, but now comes in the near side and swirls back upstream on the far bank. Strange to see how nature can completely trsansform the way things happen in such concise examples.
My first was in the first pool upstream on the Edgelaw outflow. B caught his first here too after a mis-cast into the current at his feet induced an instant hit off a wee broonie. I caught my second in the Corner Pool after the confluence. Spotted a big branch/log under the water behind the fallen tree that is straddling the pool. I only noticed it after a few unproductive casts and thought, if I can get a cast to the other side of that, there might be fish lying on the other side that haven't seen me or been disturbed yet. First cast at it, bang, fish on. Love it when a plan comes together.
Avoided the temptation to go on a Shroom pic quest again. Another time.
