Goldenloch week ending 29/dec/07
Back fishing again, the ice melted on Thursday and since then we have had 3 or 4 lads every day, and all have caught fish, mostly from the boats however, but being honest most have gone out on the boats with only 1 or 2 fishing from the bank, all the fish caught have been deep down and taking bright lures although one lad was particularly chuffed with what he was using, he was Polish so I don’t have his name he only had a floating line and dry flies and although it was pouring rain and freezing cold he fished from the bank and at the far end of the loch and caught 8 fish which he returned, with a small communication problem he showed me the remains of what he was using and I guess by what he was trying to tell me was that the fish were chewing his flies and that he had used up quite a lot of flies but he had had a great day this was conveyed by him giving the thumbs up all the time, still however I cant understand how the poles seem to catch so many fish, Ray Easton was here on Thursday and back again today Ray a very keen angler likes using a floating line as well and usually catches a few, I the next few days I am expecting a load of Artic Char, this is to give the keen anglers in the next few months a little bit of variety I have downloaded some info>>>>>>>>>>
Description
The arctic char is a member of the Salmonidae family and is similar in taste to its cousins trout and salmon. It also bears resemblance to the salmon, but it has a longer and more colorful body. The arctic char is one of the main protein staples of the Inuit Eskimos and a fish of stature among western royalty. It is both farmed and captured wild. Cultured char can reach 1.8 to 2.25 kg in less than thirty months. Typical market size of the arctic char is between 1 and 3.5 kg (2-8lbs).
