Well, so far 2011 has been a bit of a damp squib, quite literally. Everytime we try to get some fishing in it seems either rain or snowmelt decides to put the rivers in flood just as we arrive after perfect conditions beforehand, typical.
Anyway, early attempts at some spring fishing on the South Esk and River Teith have been unsuccessful, apart from a number of kelts from the River Teith for myself and our hardy group of anglers. Don't think I have ever seen so many kelts still around so late in the season as I did last week on the Teith. Among them were some very well mended fish which I am sure are very late runners that have not spawned this year. Are our runs of fish getting later and later?
Anyway still waiting for that heart thumping wrench of a big spring fish. Watch this space!
About Me
- Flynut
- Glasgow, United Kingdom
- Mad about flyfishing in Scotland. I will try to catch anything that swims, but my main passion is salmon and sea trout fishing, particularly on my favourite big rivers such as the Spey, or, on a smaller scale the Teith in Stirling. I have fished all the great Scottish rivers such as Tay, Tweed and Spey with mixed success, as well as Scotland's great lochs such as Menteith, Lomond and Leven for their stunning trout and sea trout. In these pages you can share in all my angling adventures, whether on my own or in the company of some of my great fishing friends. We hope you will enjoy sharing our triumphs (not many), or laughing at our incompetent efforts at catching these great fish. Either way, enjoy. Tight lines!

Stunning!
