Top
story of the month has undoubtedly been
the capture on a little Black Shrimp fly of a 33lb Salmon
on the Dunlappie beat of the West Water,
my favourite wee river, by david burns from Glasgow.
Davy had fished at Kinnabar all day, losing two fish at the net
and decided to go to Dunlappie for the last hour of daylight.
The fish took him second cast. The next 45 minutes were a mixture of
strong runs and two periods of lying doggo on the bottom, but he managed
to land the fish in fast-retreating light
this is the biggest Fish from the North Esk catchments in the past decade
Jim won the 999 comp at Burnhouse on the 7th of October,it was a horrendous day ,weather wise with persistent rain all day with heavy bits,he had 9 fish and biggest fish was (5lb) nice to defend his cup.

I took this today and believe it or not we each had four fish for a total
weight of 15lb:12oz. All bar one fish were taken quite deep.

Story By Stuart Malcolm
Just as the light was fading and the rise was off the boil ,two amazing
sightings of Bigfoot were spotted on the island at Antermony Loch
by Stuart Malcolm , fortunately stuart escaped the life threatning
situation as the closest sighting turned out to be Robert Forsyth
captured in the yetti like stance.

a story told by Dave Thomson,
Stalking Grayling – The Jackie Stewart Technique
Dave
Thomson relates how several years ago, he was fishing the Earn for
grayling; carefully creeping up to the rivers edge, crouched down
– to prevent exposing himself above the sky-line – gently easing himself
into the water –letting his single maggot, on a size sixteen spade
end, with one dust shot 18” above it, on 3lb nylon and a small porcupine
quill float, slowly trot down the river. Fishing away he heard a voice
he recognized approaching; our late President, Jackie Stewart. The
voice got closer and closer until it said, ‘ How's it going big-man?’
‘Nothing – not a touch for four hours. I’m going to try further up-stream.’
So Davy left the river and sat on the bank to have a consoling pipe.
Jackie, dressed in his battered fore-and-aft, replete with bait needles,
hooks and flies trailing bits of nylon; the waxed jacket down to his
knees that pre-dated Barbour, with its frayed cuffs, torn pockets
with a rope belt and his black sewer workers waders, jumped into the
river creating a Tsunami and cast out his worm on a 10 hook, with
his homemade cork and biro refill float, on his standard 10lb Maxima
line. This trotted downstream no more than 10 yards when Jackie tightened
into a 2lb+grayling.
Davy believes that his depressive mood swings and heavy drinking began
at that moment.
