Troutto thefore atCarron Valley
A trip to Carron Valley Fishery last Sunday proved to East Kilbride Angling Club that the great Scottish weather can be fickle, with grey overcast skies breaking up to a very pleasant day of broken sunshine.
It was a pleasure to see so many brown trout showing up in the results and a few Powan also.
But the big problem was the wind, which was constant with a strength that felt more than the forecast of 15 18mph at times.
Disappointingly, there was very little in the way of a rise and only the odd fish was seen to break the surface.
The winner on the day was guest G Dempter with 14 rainbow trouts, while club member Willie won the best catch of all the members.
The club now moves on to the bus outing for May with a trip to Aberfeldy on the River Tay on Sunday, May 28.
Following that there will be an outing to Harelaw in early June.
This is a bank outing so look out the waders.
