Give that man a cigar. ;D Was hoping someone would have recognised the gent on the croy and in subsequent photo with bunnet.That gents is Mr Colin Leslie erstwhile catcher of huge Tay fish who calls all fishers wanker's but if he likes you then you are good wanker.He is a well known character from the Tay system who is weel kent and visited us whilst a few freinds and I were fishing Meikleour a year past last August.He knew a couple of our rods and wanted to come down each day for a bit craic and a few casts.he's quite a bloke.The guy in the hat aye well thats another story suffice to say it wont make an appearance on the Dee thats for sure.  |

Listen to this guys
Colin has written a book about his life on the Tay which is just about to be published. Unfortunately this Total Tay Legend is not keeping too well at the moment so there's unlikely to be an official launch. Talk about getting an insight into the way the Tay was there's no one left alive who could lace this mans boots on knowledge of the Tay. If you look on Nigel Houldsworths detailed map of the Tay you'll see Colin has several entries for fish over 40 lbs.
I'll find more details and post them soon on the new website.
Regards
Jock
