What was the best low water pool on the Teith bar none.
Sadly now well gone due to huge winter floods, gravel movement, beavers and anything else that destroys favourite pools.
Fond memories though.
I once got a phone call from the head keeper one early August in the middle of a summer drought.
6 inches on the river, don't know where it came from, he said.
Get your arse down here, Diana (Rigg) needs a fish, she's throwing a party this weekend.
Well, work interfered with play in those days but I managed down for 3 hours late afternoon and was going out with the wife for dinner that evening.
13ft Alltmor, floating line, size 10 cascade and 5 fish up to 23lb later, all splattered with long tailed sea lice, and fish delivered to the Big Hoose, a very happy boy went to dinner and got pi**ed.
Not anywhere near the best day, either. There were plenty like that and better. The Teith held its own with any river in Scotland back then.
But certainly the ones that just fall into your lap unexpectedly are the most memorable.
So, when I joined the forum back in the day, there really was only one choice.
