Mild conditions at Loch Insch

SCHOOL holidays and spells of very mild weather brought the youngsters out to Loch Insch this week. Special moments for Ryan Strachan of Fyvie and Joe Wilson from Midmar as they both caught on the fly lochs for the first time! Ryan’s falling to a Bunny Leech and Joe’s to a Black Fritz. Keep it up, lads! Jamie Buchan also put Granda to shame landing a 2 1/2lb rainbow for the pan. At the bait pond we welcomed back Josh Bramman following several weeks in hospital in Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Josh got a day pass from “Archie” and enjoyed a lovely afternoon keeping 3 rainbows for 4lbs. Get well soon, Josh, keep up the physio!
