The Big Loch

Yesterday me and my dad went out fishing for Seatrout on Scotlands biggest fresh water loch, Loch Lomond. It’s a bit early for Seatrout on the loch, probably would be better in another 3 weeks, but we thought we would take the chance while we could.

We started around 12:00 so thought it would be best to have a bit of lunch first. The ducks at Balmaha got jealous so we gave them a biscuit or two.

It was a bright day to start with, but the wind was a lot stronger once we got out to the islands.

Two signets were making sure they weren’t going to end up a pikes lunch…

After a few drifts and having touched nothing, we decided to go for a famous Loch Lomond “Fry-up”. We built a small fire on an island called Inchlonaig and lay back to enjoy flame grilled (or fried) burgers, onions and mushrooms while looking over to Ben Lomond.

After the fry up we were full of renewed confidence, but it wasn’t to be. I rose one small seatrout that didn’t really break the surface of the water, and got this small Brown trout fishing at the shoreline of Luss. Still a great day out and chips and Irn-Bru on the way home!

    IRN-BRU SUCKS!! Only cheeky geezers drink…. //The following comment has been moderated as it contains offensive references to our glorious “other” national drink. Perhaps it is jealousy caused by it’s limited availablility in other parts of the world. Irn-Bru is the nector of the gods and I won’t allow such deffamation! // Gary

    Maybe the “…limited availability in other parts of the world…” has a reason behind it!!
