Ventured up to Tweeddale yesterday for our first trip over the borders for the start of this season, there was the usual three, myself, Sheppie and Ronnie.
The weather was really cold with a smattering of ice around the edges of the lakes, we decided to try various tactics so we could get some idea what the fish were taking.
Five hours later we were still trying to find the solution along with another half dozen anglers, I think two fish were caught and only a couple of fish showed on the surface. This must have been the most trying time I have ever experienced at Tweeddale, you get good days and bad days, this was the latter.
The guy in the lodge ( Scott ) is a cracking bloke and he said, "since the Northerly winds arrived it had put the fish down".
Anyway the stocking waggon arrived and duly put fish into the lakes and it was champion to get a bend in the rod, even one bend in the last 15 mins was just about perfect. Better day's to come.
