So much better without the rain and wind, this week the fishing has improved a lot as well, although some days it has been breezy, trying to work out what to do next year as this year just isn’t stacking up to good , with prices increasing the way they are things aren’t looking to good for fly fishing, footfall is also the single biggest contributor, with the abnormally hot then really wet and windy weather this season our income has taken a big hit as people don’t like to come fishing in the really hot days, at the moment we are continuing as normal, but I am pretty sure we will not be renewing Season Tickets for 2024 as these are definitely losing money, G McKay, on Monday 4 returned, J Basford, 3 returned keeping 1, Rod Thaw, another great day 20+, John Bowman, 9 returned lost 6, Ryan Allen, and son returned 1, but lost a few, Jock Souter 2 returned lost 1, Sandy Band 10 returned, Mike Bradshaw 4 on daddies great fun he said, Wellbeing group did OK, only 4 here, on a very windy day, Lloyd 1, Pete had 5 1 killed, George, OH dear nothing in the book, John 1, John Cowie had 2 returned, J Wilson 1, Gary Docherty on 7, Brodie Ireland 1, and Dave Gonsales 11, John Bowman Back again had 9 plus 2 Perch losing 7, now the Illuminati lads, Graham and Ewan, have been getting better and Better 2 on spiders and 2 on muddlers, Steve Hampshaw 1 returned plus 1 killed foam daddy and Dave Fleming 1 returned plus 1 lost Ewan Egan-Wyle illuminati had 6 on parachute + zebra Nymphs Mr A Gourley Snr 5 returned yellow dancer + black and greens, Brian Dewar and Alec Burns not been here for a while pretty sure they did well. G McKay Father and son, had 2 and 3 all returned, Black Flash Damsel, so in all its been a reasonable week but still a couple of days with no one here, perhaps better days to come.
