[The Flying Scotsman]

Thought I would start a new thread for this year.
The river is at a fish able height today for about the second time all year. I’m busy today too typical.
Think Westie is making his first trip to the southie today fingers he posts a pic of a fish on this thread later today.
Tight lines to all

Yeh I've been busy on this big roof in Edzell. The bugger never told me it was a concrete roof so it's been a bastard to do. 😛

Did you ask the correct questions like;
What kind of roof am I ordering completely the wrong materials for, Sir?

That would of been far too sensible
32 years as a joiner and that's the first concrete garage roof I've ever seen.

Well, it is Edzell isn't it?
You should have known that the build things back to front and upside down up there.

As they say in Kelty,
"Ya hoor Sir, that's some f***ing mess!!!"
After a good replacement job then it's
"Ya hoor Gordon, that's some f***ing difference!!!"

One of my journeyman serving my time was a fifer. He was a cantankerous old bugger who hated everyone including his fellow fifers.
One day after moaning about some dealings he had in the kingdom he asked me if I knew what Fife stood for?
I said no and he replied
F*cking Idiots F*cking Everywhere

I must add all my wife's side of my family are fifers and they're lovely people.
Did pish myself laughing though.

Nothing!!

I was full of hope today after seeing our mutual pals fish from yesterday and the video of spankers bouncing around the pool. Up the way from your bit and down from mine.

One of his fish was carrying lts!!!

Yeh thought you were on a sure thing today Andy and was jealous of you on the river as I was sweating my balls off.
I wonder if the fish our pal got in about headed up the glen during the night?

Or stayed where they were? The river was mucky early on and had dropped by the time the silt dropped out of it. They may well have just hunkered down out of the silt then thought 'nah' as the levels dropped.

I gave it a good crack. Elie, Crooked, Todholes. Redbraes and Auchenturk. The in the motor and did Mill, Glenarm down to Middlehill. The back in the motor and did a few hotspots around Gella and finished up at the Horseshoe.

Back up the road, walked the dogs, showered rammed some grub down my throat and off to the theatre with friends - I'm fubarred

(ps -if you ain't seen Book of Mormon, then do, it's hilarious!!)

 

[allysshrimp]

There's a fair chance Andy, if it rose quick and got mucky and dropped fast as it did, they would just stay where they were.

The river took an unexpected rise last night. I’ve no idea where it came from.
I only noticed later today or would of been out this morning.
Im just back from a few ours on upper and middle kinnaird.
It was dropping fast and dirty.
My pal dropped a nice sea trout of around a few pounds that was it.
Anyone else catch the lift?
The southie has been dire this season so far.

 

[midgydug]

Noticed that yesterday unfortunately at work. Must have been localised thunder clouts as its been scorching in East Neuk. Surely bring sea trout up to kirrie now 🤞

 

[mows]

Seen my first sparkling seatroot on thursday. Fly spooked it and it jumped out in front of on to my line. Hopefully it had lots of company.
