Looks like you had a great day. We had a wander along the Clyde for the first time but no luck. Found a few good places to fly fish but everyone else we saw was bait fishing. Was a beautiful day for a walk. ;D
Hoping to go up to Swans w/c 9/4/07 as Josh is off school and I've got a week off work.

It was hard going due to last couple of days sunshine even the small ponds were proving difficult not a lot bagged up today but thats fishing no catching mate, One guy had the lucky peg and got his five including a 9 and 7 pounder. I lost two and Lgf lost one as he was neting it.
The yellow dancers and colour yellow was out the window today. Top catchers were the apps various colours and Humungus black doing the biz for most of the catchers.

you may have to scale the quantities and cooking time down but i found a recipe here for you....if you've not already grilled it
Blue trout fancy
serves 6
6 freshly caught trout, carefully gutted so as not to remove the slime that covers the body and which makes the trout go blue when cooked. Do not use frozen trout or shop prepared trout as there is no point as they will not go blue.
Lemon wedges
2 carrots, chopped
1 large onion, halved and stuck with a clove
1 clove of garlic
2 leeks (white part only)
1 bouquet garni
2 glasses of sweet white wine
1/2 glass of wine vinegar
salt and pepper
7 oz (200g) butter, cut in small cubes. Juice of one lemon
pinch of thyme
1 teaspoon double cream
Boil the carrots, onion, garlic, leeks, wine, vinegar, salt and pepper with 8 pints (4.5 litres) of water. Simmer for 20 minutes. Add the trout and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes depending on their size. Open a can off beer and treat yourself to a drink for getting this far. In a different saucepan melt the butter over a low hear until it starts to froth. Add the lemon juice, thyme, salt and pepper. Whisk well and just before serving whisk in the cream. Carefully drain the now blue trout and place on a serving plate garnished with lemon wedge. Serve the sauce separately. - Submitted by Jasbir Verasammy, Birmingham, England

Now can you catch fish at carpet bowls? Rumor has it you where spotted in all the local ladies retailers in Falkirk Lgf, is this a viscous rumor or have you been eying up some fish net stockings for your next trip?  |
