My Quality Time

Its Sat 2 June, its raining outside, and believe it or not I am praying that it stops, not so much here, but on the East Coast. Upper Easter Elchies on the Spey was, when I checked with the Ghillie on Friday, running at about 3ft above level. This is not good news, especially for someone who hates to spin. With luck however it will drop to a more fishable height before too long.

Not a lot of activity here, and a couple of hot bright days have kept the fish down. The River is also down ( but will certainly be up by Monday if the forecast of rain and more rain is correct ). I cast a fly for an hour or so on Wed, and in the middle of a mayfly hatch ( yes its started ), changed to dry fly and picked up a couple about 1lb. I gave up however when the wind dropped completely.

Off to start packing all the salmon gear - will speak in about 10 days or so - hopefully with tales of fish from the Spey.

Finally - the Whirling Dervish that is Tara the Pup is getting bigger and faster - she has also taken a liking to the Wife's bedding plants !! - not a good idea !
