Chasing Rainbows : Back on the Fly : Small Scottish Loch Fishing

Fly fishing at a small Scottish Loch for Rainbow Trout was a fantastic afternoon’s fun. I'd fished this loch once before and came back ready for more action. The Loch didn't disappoint and some great sport was had catching and releasing each fish.
Our local Salmon rivers, the Dee and the Don, are both desperately in need of rain. The levels are so low all the local anglers are staying away in the interests of fish welfare and focusing on the lochs for Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout.
Hope you enjoy joining me on this adventure - great to be back out on the bank again. Apologies for the casting skills but I'm working on that.
Tight lines from me and a tail wag from Dee.

Great little session and video Phil, well done. Good to see that shoulder in action again. Tight lines buddy.

Thanks, I really want to get back on the rivers for the wild brown trout as soon as levels and temperatures are fish friendly.

Hi Phil, if that is where I think it is? i was asst. manager in the Loriston Hotel in the early 90s and joined the angling club. I fished both this wee loch and the one further up the road that was at that time pretty well covered in lilies/surface weed. it was in the first loch with its gin clear water that I really got to see fresh stocked fish behaviour and longer resident fish behaviour - fantastic way to learn methods for both - loved it - recently went up for a a reckie with the missus - TIGHT LINES

Thanks for commenting and it does sound like you fished the same little lochcans. If I'm right the hotel has a new name these days. I'm glad it brought back memories for you. Tight lines, Phil.

Nice Place! Your title put me in mind of a song I first heard sung by Judy Garland !!! "Always Chasing Rainbows" Dont think she was referring to Rainbow Trout! Enjoying your videos from Westcoast Canada! CHEERS from HERE!

The Rainbow Trout are not native to these parts and are generally not popular in the Salmon, Sea Trout and wild Brown Trout rivers. Many are escapees from commercial fish farms. That said they can be great fun to catch in these little lochans.
