Yep still buzzing guys! ;D ;D ;D ;D The Findhorn is really suffering from low water and is reduced in most parts on the Forres beat to a trickle. I was advised to be there at dawn (4am !), fish tiny flies and fish the head of the pools in ruffled water (particularly if there is a darker trench of water against a sheer cliff (eg on the outside of a bend). Once I found that kind of lie, I got one pretty much straight away! Once I landed it though, I just couldnt get much of a line out after - all the puff had gone out of me and I didnt have the heart to carry on. Loved it and will definately return in early September - JJ |
