I went for a look see on one of our local lochs today. It was very cold but I saw two young lads out on the water fishing like the last day of existence. The younger came ashore to untangle his leader and when I went over to have a word, I found this fish beside their tackle. It was caught by the older brother (17) and the younger (13) was very monosylabic about it. I gathered frome him if he did not catch a fish he would never hear the end of it. Although it is just a stocked fish and the tail is not so good but as the saying goes, 'better that than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick'.
Brothers!!!. At that age they weren't bothered by the cold, too much for me, I'll give it a bit more time.
Also a nice view of one of my home waters.
