The payday if you’re able to cash in could be the fish of a lifetime and with a two nice fish coming off the Dalmarnock beat already that week you just never know. So eight members made the journey north and found the river level at the expected height, the boat unable to be launched for safety reasons and the top beat also flooded out so the crew cracked on.

The morning session provided an out of season brownie for Eddie but that was it, everyone was happy to hit the hut at 1pm for some coffee and a warm up.

River levels had dropped slightly and three of the crew managed on to the top beat in the afternoon but could only attempt to fish the top 300 yard section.
Time called at about 4.30pm. Everyone appeared to have remained dry with the exception of Martin who slipped underwater in extra time while retrieving snagged lure.

Some of the guys stopped overnight for a few
beers. It was reported that this year nothing was left in the hotel, all bills
were paid before leaving and that no suspicious stains were left on exiting the
lodgings.
