Same. Way too gruelling for mid-March.

Looks like a good mix of weather for those out this weekend, here it says 16 degrees c on Saturday. I was fishing a water that goes 16' yesterday and when the sun came out later afternoon they were coming up for mixers, albeit skittish.

Not where I'm going fishing single digits in Oban

I've seen there are going to be some tasty winds on Sat in England, Oban has a weather warning for snow

Nb, I've no affiliation to this storm and post for the benefit of others, if they so choose.

Had a reccie around the new syndicate that me and a mate have joined. Only 3 chaps on and very slow going. Im not out till the 17th so hopefully the weather may have warmed up and things get going by then.

Did the walk round stoke the passion?

Good lord yes! Think i may have been drooling a bit.

Recently had a mass clear out of unwanted gear, stocked up on hooks etc. new line on reels, bought a new chair and landing nets.
