just back frae a trip tae the river allan.and for the first time in FIVE years i have come home wae a fishy,
got a phone call frae ma pal tae see if a wanted tae fish a couple o hours on the allan .by 7 o`clock we were on our way,got tae our usual bit at ashfield.the river was a bit high and really broon .
we were fishin the worm,after about 40 mins caught a wee broonie that went back tae get bigger,was gettin more bites but they were just wee broonies.caught another broonie put back tae fight another day.we then moved doon the river a wee bit tae faster flowin water then on ma second cast, knock knock am intae a fish that gave a guid fight, it was a 2lb sea troot that i had tae kill cos it had the hook right doon (i would have returned the fish)and, if and when i catch my first salmon i will return that.
so came home sore(ma gammy hip)but happy as a pig in siht.
