141.0. "Game fishing in Scotland." by MADBAS::BMCQUILLAN () Tue Mar 10 1992 08:21


 I'd like to open this topic for everyone interested or participating in
Trout ,Sea-Trout and/or Salmon fishing in Scotland. I have spent a long
period of time wading through all the fishing related conferences and saw
very few notes from this part of the globe. So lets put this wonderful land
of Whisky ,Haggis and Salmon on the fishing map.

    HAGIS = Sheep Stomach stuffed with sheep meat by products.  To eat you
            must fisrt have ample supply of Good Scottish Whiskey.  I've
            tried it and its not that bad.  They have a holiday based on
    	    the guy who invented hagis.  Best time to visit is during that
            hoilday time.

 Now that the Haggis matter has been cleared up ,the long awaited opening day
 on my local waters (Loch and river) is only 4 days away. I'll be up at Loch
 Spouts (Pronounced Spoots) from the crack of dawn and hopefully get a nice
 bag of Rainbows or even a wild Brown.As the weather here is around 4 - 10 C
 at the moment ,a fast sinking line and a size 10 longshank Red Booby will be
 the order of the day. Also hoping to get Salmon fishing on tuesaday as the
 rain hasn't stopped for days - bunch of worms with a drilled sinker and stop-
 shot ,hopefully the rain will bring the first few Springers into the river.
 I took 3 fresh run Salmon last April with this method so here's hoping...

141.4Sea-Troot = Big Gloot!MADBAS::BMCQUILLANTue Apr 28 1992 13:1112
    
    Fellow Fishers,
    
                     has anyone seen or heard of this before. I was fishing
    the River Girvan this morning and caught a Sea-Trout . The thing about
    it was that at least 2 other people had also hooked the same fish - the
    hooks and about 2 feet of line were still attached to the fish. Also
    the fish would only be a few days in the River , the fact that these
    migratory fish are not supposed to feed while in fresh-water makes it
    all seem more of a wonder. Needless to say "Third time unlucky".
    
                                                            Bmq.

    Brian,
    
    What stretch of the river Girvan do you fish? Is it the Digital
    stretch?
    
    Do you fish any other local rivers for Salmon/sea trout?
    
    If you have any info on some good fishing e.g.
    Doon/Girvan/Stinchar etc, that would be available for let, geez a Buzz.
    
    cheers.....John.
