It’s the end of the year, the past few days has seen some anglers brave the cold, they are a hardy lot, they are determined to just enjoy the remains of 2017, to be honest the fishing just now is really surprising, some really nice fish are being caught Colin and Billy both local regulars, did exceptionally well on Christmas eve, with if I recall 5 each mostly on Diawl Bachs, and of all things a sedge hog, just been out and had a wee chat with another regular, Harold and he is passionate about his fishing especially on a day like today, good clean sharp fresh air, seeing a few fish moving, certainly not rising in the very cold crystal clear water, so I asked what it is that brings him out on a day like today, and his answer was brilliant, “ If I was at work and I caught a fish, I would treat that as a result!” he said “But because I am relaxing and enjoying my hobby, its just about trying to catch a fish” so I said is it that you are experimenting with different flies and techniques or just having a nice day, to which he replied “ having only fly fished for over a year I think it will be a long time before it all comes together, but every day here is a nice day and catching a fish is only a bonus. So now its coming to the end of the year I do hope that some are surviving the cold Ok Brian Imrie miss your chats, as with Matt Donaldson, hoping Huff and Puff are well, I know you were both facing Hospital treatment, Mr Dunn, and George Duff haven’t seen you for a wee while, take care, none of us are getting any younger, Dave Swinlay, your antics are missed, Allan Burke and Jim take care, Eddie Henderson I am sure you are fine and I hope Linda is Ok but best wishes anyway, Barry from Dunfermline and Ryan your humour and The Butcher, Kevin from Kirkcaldy, Jim Drummond Newport is probably one of our longest surviving regulars, na that honour must be Brian Stewart and Willie Robertson both Dundee both here fishing last week and will be here next week, so many and Many more all great guys and all with one thing in common every single one think the same as Harold “But because I am relaxing and enjoying my hobby, its just about trying to catch a fish” Anne and I take this opportunity to wish you and everyone else a Happy New Year and hope to see you all soon.
