Mixed fortune's this week, one fisher who had never used a double handed rod landed a fish in the first hour, a 5lb grilse in the Cottage, his mate landed one in the Grey Mare on his last cast, a 7 pounder, well done Alan and Scott. On Tuesday the fishers all landed fish, Iain had his in the Upper Ferroch, Greg got his in Invercannie and Peter landed one in the Cottage, well done to you all. On Thursday one of the fishers got off to a great start landed two fish within twenty minutes of starting, well done Alan, his fishing mate tried very hard with no luck, your turn next time Jack. We were blank the last two day's, I think the fish were telling us to leave them alone to get on with their breeding. We even had a piper playing outside the Ferroch hut yesterday and that didn't stir them up, thank's Mark. One of our regular fisher's Norman who caught the final fish last year and the first fish of thie season was unable to connect, hard luck to all the fishers. It is sad to be writing my last report, it hasn't sunk in yet. I got a real surprise last night when I was presented with a lovely book from Orri Vigfusson, I was speechless, thanks to who ever organised that. It was a good night, Orri is doing a great job trying to protect the Atlantic salmon and deserve's all the support he can get. Don't know when it finished, but Dug and Norman were still playing their mouth organ's when I left. Finally I would like to thank all the fisher's and their wives that I have met over the past thirty odd years, I have made lot's of friend's, hope I will meet some of you in the years to come. If you are passing call in past, might get a cup of tea or something a bit stronger. It's the end of an era, there has been a Cowie ghilling at Cairnton since 1947. Thanks to everyone who wrote in my book, I look forward to reading it. Please keep in touch, my email is d.cowie44@btinternet.com I wish the new ghillie all the best. | ||
