LOOKING FORWARD TO A GOOD 2008

Hello friends old and new - after so far a very bleak, wet and miserable winter, FISHMORVERN is back in business and busily planning for the 2008.



Since I last spoke the only fishing done has been in the sea, mostly for Pollack, which given the right conditions have thankfully been plentiful. As the boat is still out of the water, most of this has been done from the shore, though I did hitch a ride on someone Else's boat one frosty morning. Spinning has been the order of the day on most occasions ( 18g Toby in silver/blue ), though on calm days, I have had the old battered fly rod that I use for sea fishing out. Both methods have been productive, and I beat my personal record on the fly rod this year with a lovely fish of over 8lb - great fun, and thankfully the old rod took all that was thrown at it.



Apart from the fishing, stalking has taken up most of my spare time, though with the wet and miserable weather I have taken a look outdoors some mornings and just gone straight back to bed ! - No point when it's wet and windy as they wont bother coming out of the trees.



Plans are now well under way for 2008 season. The web site has been updated ( check http://www.fishmorvern.co.uk/ ), Ads have been placed in the fishing press June and July, Some maintenance has been done on the banks of the River Aline, tackle is cleaned and lubricated, and for those that need extra lubrication, courtesy of Macallan, I will be awarding a bottle of 10 yr old malt for the heaviest Salmon, Sea Trout and Brownie this year.


Storms forecast for tomorrow so away to batten down the hatches !! - be back soon
