Managed to get an afternoon in (took 1/2 day leave), was hoping the warm cloudless weather would hang on but turned out grey and cold with some drizzle.
As the wind was northerly started on the railway bank by the inlet. Set up with a Di5 and boobies. After while changed to a floater as I saw large shoals of stockies still roaming round. So put on a floater with Dial Bach, buzzer and a montanna and soon had a fish to the point fly montanna.
From then on had great fun, all the other fish were caught casting to them. Saw the same sort of formation as before with a V like formation and if you managed to get a fly in front of the lead fish, I almost always caught which seemed to be the first fish. If my flies fell behind it, towards the following fish, I might of got a bump or a tug, but no hook-ups.
The fish would come and go and often I would have to trot round to the bank to the side of me to trap them.
Anyway managed a good 6. Sometimes the shoals would dissapear for at least 45mins, and there were cormorants feeding on them. And saw one of the fuckers a couple of 100 yards chasing one with the trout leaping 3foot out of the water while the black death chased it and eventually caught up with it, came out of the water with the fish in its bill raised its ugly head and let the trout slip down its neck. I thought the fish could have been one of the ones I had released as it must have been knackered out, and therefore easy prey. I do try to rush a fish in when I am going to release it. Once the beast had swallowed the fish it went on to the bank and had a rest for half an hour, and would have been great practice for a crossbow!
Most of the fish came to a simple dial bach. The fishing got harder as the evening approached and never got a wiff in the last hour.
