Saving my Fishing Season

This season so far fo me has been a disappointment as I've only managed one day trip away and my enthusiasm to fish Hillend is currently as low as it has ever been due to the current state of the Loch.
However there is hope that my season could yet be saved as I was contacted recently regarding a trip to the Outer Hebrides in late August. I'm currently waiting on that being confirmed.

As ever Ive been busy at the vice.
It really does help with the disappointment of my lack of fishing.
