On the penultimate day of May I arranged a holiday from work and took out a boat at Hillend.
As the title of this post suggests I was chasing a
ripple all day as for most of the day the loch was flat calm however now and
again the wind would pick up but soon disappear.
Therefore I had to do a bit of manoeuvring about to
find the trout.
I eventually found them at a couple of areas in and
around the Spiers Island. I managed a brown tout of about 2 1/4lb which was
duped by one of my wet daddy patterns and was kept for the pot then a short while after I managed
another brown trout this time around the 2 ½ lb mark which was foiled by my
black uv lure which was safely returned to the loch to fight another day.
Before ending my day at the loch I hooked a pike
which I somehow managed to lose at the boat. It’s fair to say I wasn’t too
bothered about that as it saved me handling the toothy predator.
All in all another great day afloat at my local loch.
