Fishing and waterways

Give it a go, good luck.

 

well done. Weather’s horrendous here, can’t face a four hr round trip piking to the mainland at the moment, waiting for a slightly milder spell rather than minus windchill temps, torrential rain and severe gales! Lightweight, i know.

 

Any good @Craven Cottager ? Did you do the comp?

 

sounds like you put in a solid performance, at least you got some fish. What won it?

 

wow, big turnout. Nice to see a few cod landed.

 

hoping to get a few more in our club too, we’ve got some ideas for the coming season to hopefully do that.

 

Van’s loaded, piking trip to the mainland tomorrow, 5am start. Forecast looks ok (famous last words).

 

well done mate. Lovely river.

no coarse fish on skye, the highlands doesn’t have many tbf, pike, perch and eels being present in some lochs / systems. My closest venue isn’t too far from kyle of lochalsh, but after that it’s the big hydro lochs which is where i tend to target more. The loch we fished today is huge, levels fluctuate so it’s a interesting and tricky venue. Some big pike in there though, as with many of the big hydro lochs, which tends to add to the allure of setting aside how daunting they seem and just get out and have a go.

we avoided the blank today, a nice 14lb pike was our lot, pretty wild old day, white horses etc.

 

Boston Spa and Newton Kyme was where I used to fish a lot. Beautiful stretches. Some clonking pike in the wharfe and the Ouse, Foss Basin is very popular. Biggest pike i’ve had is 21lb, a while ago now, it was from up here. Had a fair few 18s knocking on the door, the pike fight very hard up here. Could easily be a real monster or two in these lochs, biggest one I’ve seen a picture of is a 28lber.

Is the selby dam still full of fish, think i’ve asked you before? Fished that so much when i was a kid.

 

Have a bit of Parlour Pool action, The Royalty Fishery.

 

In these strange times, you can always count on the soothing sounds of a babbling burn (unfortunately no sounds)
