Week ending 06/02/06 goldenloch
Last week saw the Goldenloch freeze solid with nearly 3 inches of ice, this however did not seem to deter the hardiest of anglers, cutting a hole in the ice, Mr Stewart, Dundee had a few offers but didn’t catch anything as he really wasn’t sure what type of fly he should be using for a 2 foot round hole, settling for a consett budgie he was more than happy to just sit and wait, despite us putting messages on our website and on the ansaphone, many anglers were turning up only to be disappointed, some were quite amusing, like the two lads that tackled up and went along to the far end of the bank as the loch looked flat calm, there was however 2 inches of ice under approx a ½ inch of water, after approx an hour of casting onto this and moving positions a few times one of the lads twigged as the swan walked across the loch to be beside its buddy.
