It was the last day of the trout season on the Clyde and many anglers were on the river enjoying the fine weather
Although the river was very low, there were plenty of fish to be caught.
My good friend Bill with a nice brown trout from the River Clyde.
He had a few fish that day--what a great way to end the trout year.
We haven't had much rain for most of the season but there were still a few fish to be caught.
Here is Kev landing a nice fish just by Wolfclyde Bridge.
This superb grayling was caught by Kev earlier in the year.
So the trout seasons ended for 2015-- its now grayling time.
All we need now is a few days of heavy rain to clean the river out.
The trout will start laying their eggs on the nice clean gravel.
Hopefully the grayling will become active and provide some good sport through out the winter months
Although I didn't have a brilliant year, I managed to catch a few fish, my old bones start to ache. After an hour or so I like to sit back on the river bank and watch others applying their skills-- I often wonder --"why cant I do that"?
