Barcraigs Fri 5th June

Water still very high, apparently its going to be kept that way so all the bushes in the water should eventually drown, making for a pretty snaggy bank experience. Very little surface activity tonight appart from loads of Perch as usual, which should be renamed pest fish as they are a never ending pest. Its a pity they dont grow a bit bigger on average although i believe there are some big ones in there, Ive had them to around 1.5lbs. Anyway back to the point, no discernable rise at all with just the odd trout moving. As usual when trying to get a rainbow it always pays to move around. I started off at the Muirend Dam but nothing doing there at all, so i moved up to the point on the bay where the burn enters, always a good spot and managed to get one at 10 o'clockish of arouond 1.75lb on a Ke Hee, stripped fast on a floater.


I always find that as the light is going and into darkness a couple of traditional wets on the big side will usually produce a fish or two. Weather was cold with some showers, heavy at times with the breeze from N,NE. No poachers on the water tonight, amazing.
