As some may recall I mentioned previously I was heading to the River Annan for 2 days to fish with some American chums who've moved to that part of the world.
Despite my best efforts I generally got pretty cold and wet
In fact, we all did 
On top of that I don't have much in the way of positive comments about the beat descriptions as provided by the well known Scottish based internet booking site we organised the fishing through
Wildly apocryphal might be a suitable description
We caught sod all as the river swelled into an autumnal spate late on Friday (mind you, we had sought out shelter in a pub by then
), by close of play on Saturday (about 11am when we agreed that retiring for the day was the best course of action) there was all sorts of debris heading downstream including what looked like most of a deciduous forest 
At one point, in the hopeless conditions on Saturday, it seemed the most likley happening would have been Noah going by and asking if we'd all like a lift down to Annan......
Will we go back to the Annan - yes, I really liked the look of some of it but when we return it will not be to the beats we were on this time. Roll on '07

You're not wrong! The guys fishing Brocklerigg on Thursday had at least 2 fish off the beat with a similar number returned......
