First thing i have to say is Happy birthday to the Auld yin (Brian).
We arrived at the burn just after mid-day . Still there was the odd patch of frost . The water though looked in great condition, and still the odd olive hatched , and from the off, we caught fish, but these were out of season browns not grayling.
The grayling though almost on our cue put in a appearance , In "Brians pool" , there were the infuriating risers from last week. And once again unfortunately they had the upperhand with two takers escaping the clutches of Brians hook.

| Drat! |
Next pool , i hooked a fish only to lose it at the net , then landed a grayling.
Brians luck just wasnt in today, raising and pricking plenty to dry flies some of them quality fish too.
Lady luck was smiling down on me with a few more grayling to nymphs and dries .
As we headed back downstream we stopped off to fish a few selected pools , we fished a few hours earlier and i was fortunate, to hook up the best of the day at 1 1/4lb.
Shortly afterwards darkness was upon us , and called an end to the day. Looking forward to next time just hope the weather plays ball.
