blowing away the cobwebs

Cabin fever has well and truly set in over the Christmas holidays, we had hoped to get out for a grayling trip or two but with the constant wind and rain that's not been possible, on some days taking the dog out for a walk has been a thought to be honest, but then it is winter i guess. Anyway with the weather not looking too bad today Col and i decided on a wee coarse fishing session at Eliburn res.

 the rain still managed to put in an appearance


it took a while before our floats registered a bite, which turned out to be a lovely Roach to start of 2014


a few more Roach followed soon after the first and also an Ide

  
 after that some missed bites and long periods of inactivity before Col landed a Roach and another Ide



 so not the most productive of sessions but it was great to get out fishing again after a long month of no fishing.

    1. Too true Scott, Eliburn's been a great wee venue for those difficult winter days.

  4. Nice fish guys, Eliburn (Deans Ressie) was a childhood haunt of mine, there's a ton more fish in it these days mind. I'm hoping to fish tomorrow, first time since last August, my longest break from fishing for many years, can't wait :)

    I've enjoyed reading your posts and other while I've been out of action so cheers!
