Etive Last Weekend

[Rossco99]

Wasn't sure whether to put this on as it's not from the north east.
BUT I heard a couple of you may be travelling up there soon, so I thought I'd share a couple of pics from my trip last Sat






Cheers Ross

Nice catch. I don't think it matters where your from just as long as you get a good catch. Hope you have many more.

Im guessing you booked 1 of dougs boats ? Top guy is doug,
It's a great wee day out I must have been out on his boats close to 20 times last 2-3 years.
Theres places all over the loch from the shore some have loads of fish others only have a couple but bigger fish (quantity/quality) if you know what I mean
Main species (for me anyway) has got to be the spurs/thornies, but produces ALOT of other species.

Enjoy your trip mate and remember the "Avon Skin So Soft" as the midge will be out in force by then if your camping/nightfishing

That is a nice part of the country I must say, went camping down there with the other half for a few days last year, only tried fishing for a wee while and never caught, as you say fish or no fish still a nice place, If you have never been to Etive you will be impressed the scenery is 2nd to none and the fishing is good too

Been to Oban a few times when the wife and I used to dive, so i have passed by Etive I think its near the falls of Lura, dived a few places in that area.
yeah its nice there to.
