Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness...
Thursday was forecast to be cloudy, while Friday was forecast to be sunny. Jimmy and I picked Thursday. They got it totally the wrong way around. It was also forecast to be no more than 11C, but after a 4C start, the air temp got up to 17C by the afternoon. The water was 15C, so the early temperature differences created all sorts of interesting atmospherics, on top of what was a misty morning already.
It wasn't the fastest of days, sport-wise, but we chipped away at them through the day with various dries. It really was a shame it was so bright, because any time we got a bit of cloud - even just a minute's-worth - we were getting a fish from it.
Some photos of our day...
It looks from the photos that there was plenty of cloud. Well, it did build up as the day progressed, but it was all away to the east, and the west... and the north... and the south... just none over our heads!
We've both been doing well on Menteith with a 'paraloop-hackled ginger Shipman'...
