First Rainbows from Barcraigs
Wednesday 3rd June, nice evening a bit of cloud cover, quite warm with the breeze mainly from the east. I fished the Muirend dam wall on the west end. As i got there i noticed someone sitting on the dam wall, a male with a female, he covered up what he was doing quite well but it was obviouse that he had been set lining, there were a set of bits of branch set into the dam stones , round which the set line would have been anchored. Anyway as i approached the guy he got off the water which was good but he had a fish in a bag already. There were three other poachers, at least down at the south end, the usual place.
Back to the fishing. No general rise at all with no flies visible on the water although i did catch sight of an unidentified ephemeroptera of some kind. There was the odd fish moving but it was sparse. I started with a team of small nymphs on a floatiing line and after around ten mins i got a fish of 2lb+ on a PT size 14, later as it was getting dark i got another of 2.75lb on a Montana. There just isnt any sustained rise in the evenings so far, i dont get it. The fish that do move seem preoccupied with somthing as they were ignoring my offers, yet there did not appear to be much on the surface, perhaps they were doing well a couple of feet down. I think the intermediate would have been a better bet.
