As I watch the weather forecast for the UK, and even the one for here recently, can you really trust these Met guys ? Everywhere else in the UK and Europe has had oodles of rain, and even here when I was 20 miles away at Strontian, it was raining. Here ? - forget going to the Med for a holiday and tan, just come to Lochaline.
Needless to say this has had a bad effect on particularly the river, and although they have tried, Mr Tullet's party have had to battle against low water, brilliant sun and the ubiquitous midges. Even on Arienas, no wind, and warm water have made things difficult as the fish have gone deeper ( a lot now probably in the "Glory Hole" where the depth is up to 100 ft+ ). Despite this a reasonable sea trout was caught along with about 20 Brownies.
The hikes up to the hill lochs have fared much better, and you can almost guarantee having a wing up there. The tally for the part for Tearnait was over 50 brown trout. At least the lads touched fish.
I'll try the loch myself tomorrow tonight, but as usual at this time of year - very late - I will get on the water about 10pm and take it from there - although lying deep, the fish should come up at night to feed on the abundant fly life.
Still a few rod days available on the Spey in week beginning 23 July - normal price £85 per rod day - special offer for Internet bookings of £70 per rod/day - just send me a mail, or go on the the comments part of this if interested.
Me - I'm off down the coast to one of my favourite marks for pollack
