Fished one our local the river Almond yesterday Afternoon . The water looked in great fettle with a tinge of peat . Not much in the way of risers to start with, so i went NZ style , fishing was slow , compared with usual but i started to pick up the odd wee trout. Before long I started to see the odd smutting riser, but they were no pushovers , had to go fine and smaller, then i started getting a response to these choosy , spooky smutting trout. The best of the day looked a dead ringer for a trout from the Clyde, here she is.
The banks are a real jungle and are tough going , hopefully the vegetation will die back a bit before the backend.
