  1. Tay is picking up again after a lull. Got a Scandinavian fly lines Skagit for the vision, 8-9. not managed to quite get the right weight of T tips to work yet... mothballed till spring... I rate all the Shakespeare stuff at present. It was Seaguar 15lb I lost that monster on...
  2. Forgot to mention............ I lost 'Jaws' on the Tay (Murthly 2)... took me through a tree in the middle left over from the storm..Parted me from my 15lb leader. Hooked on a size 10 Gillies fly.
  3. Glad you had some sport ! One of our party lost a decent fish at the net to a failed leader loop, estimated at a double figure fish. Another lad lost two due to losing hook hold early on. Plenty of fish showing. Shame.. Thanks for popping up and showing us the beat.. much appreciated. I was fishing with confidence, but couldn't convert what was a decent amount of showing fish, in to one on the bank.. I did manage a sea trout just under the pound mark and a parr and a wee brownie. Still, there's always tomorrow..(back to te mighty Tay.) And the seasons been kind up to now!!
  4. sorry... still in pain 3 years on..... still don't think mine have set properly yet.. I was crushed by cattle against a 5 wire (Barbed) fence.. managed a fractured skull at the same time Take as much medication that your prescription allows and make sure you breath properly..
  5. Aye fished it from 5.00 am till 8.00 for one 3-4lb Grilse, and 3 sea trout, all under a pound. It was the only fish caught, plenty of fish moving though. including some big feckers.. Caught on a small black Francis in the bottom of the first 'big' pool above the island. The water subsided a little in the afternoon, but the fishing never came to its best. It was fair pushing through for the most of the day, made wading really tiring... bad back by 4.00pm..
  6. Cheers Mik... I'll may be catch up with you on Wednesday...
  7. I'm fishing Kinnaber on Wednesday Mik. Any thoughts?
  8. Missed it again Mik........ Bear us in mind if you get any spare rods.. cheers Matty
  9. Nice dog Jiggy.... Also good to see you stil keeping the curry fodder under control...
  10. I have for sale a basically new Swarovski 5-25 x 52 BT Z5. It was mounted on my .243 for fox control, and left there for two years, with a Nigeloh Scope cover, in my cupboard. I have genuinely not used it on a live target. The registration card has not been filled in, the cleaning kit is unused. I will post RMSD after cleared funds. No stupid offers. Cheers Matty
  11. I thought it lost its way on Sunday..... Needs some original material to bring it back from the brink....
  12. I use a big Hobbart. I cleaver the carcass in half, length-ways, and put the whole thing in. You have to make sure your blade is sharp, and the the end float is controlled to ensure a good tolerance between the blade and the anvil. When work allows I.e. time... I mince 30-40 headshot rabbits up, and freeze in portion packs.. just need to slip the jackets off, and drop the guts out. bone and all, it is all my dogs favorite food.
  13. my best advice is to have a least two whistles........................ for when you bite through the first one........
  14. quality lures bud... definite results...
  15. Just the one big girl. shes four, and looks after the kennels and family in my absence. She knows everything thats going on around us... and makes herself known.
  16. Kidneys are best served with bacon....
  17. flash fry, salt/pepper. thick crusty bread..... Best, just after a morning stalk.!!
