On Monday the weather was much better and we could appreciate being at Cruden Bay.
After a walk and some lunch, my Dad and I went down to the rocks near the harbour to see if we could make contact with any mackril, but maybe it’s a little too early in the year for them.
Instead we changed location up to Loch Insch for a bit of rainbow trout fishing. This is a nice little fishery and although it’s well stocked, it’s certainly not an easy place to fish and I have struggled many times in the past! (Maybe thats more to do with my fishing skills?) Anyway, this time we both had good sport on the dry fly using size 18’s to catch trout up to 3lb. Final tally was 5 to me and 7 to my dad, all returned.
