Loch Side

Only one Pike caught in April this year, which is one up from April last year!

A number of large Trout came to the net. Surprisingly fish between 1 3/4 lb to 2 1/2 lb had whole mature frogs inside them. So the mind boggles as to what the even larger trout of 3 1/2, 4 1/4, and 5 1/2 lbs that were photographed and returned contained!

Recently on a small loch I went to fish - and noticed an Osprey settle in a nearby tree, then an Otter appeared on the far side, and THEN a third 'professional' fisher came, in the shape of a Cormorant! Needless to say, I myself didn't bother to fish, I was far inferior to that trio.
