Unfortunately the weather also meant that the demonstration by Paul Buchanan on czech & french nymphing and the Beat 3 familiarisation sessions had to be cancelled.  These events together with an evening session for newbies on Beat 2 will be re-organised.  Keep an eye on the events page and the forum for more information.

The first formal outing took place on Saturday on the Tummel, but despite a great deal of trying nothing was landed!  But, the feedback was excellent, it seems the guys just enjoy a good day out after all.

If you wish to find out about any future outings contact Adam.

Dr Matt Bell has also organised the Almond McNabb on 25^th May – prizes are on offer.  If you wish to take part please contact Matt.

Normal service will resume with regards to our Journal Posts shortly.

Following on from 2009 & 2010 we are holding a “catch and release” competition on the   River Almond, fishing Beats 2 & 3.

Meet at the Cramond Brig at 07:30 for an 08:00 kick off.

The idea is to stage a competition where you can only fish using a fly   you have made that day, using only materials collected on the river bank.   Each angler starts with just 4 undressed hooks (size optional), vice, bobbin,   black thread and whip finisher or equivalent. Prize for (1) the first to   catch and (2) the most caught within a 3 hour period.

I am keen to have a go, and am offering to donate 2 bottles of single malt as   prizes.  Contact Matt for more details.

Marks & Spencer and   Marine Conservation Society have arrange a clean-up at Cramond Beach on   Friday 11^thMay from 10:15.  You need to first of all register to take part? Anyone who registers also gets a £5 off voucher to spend at M&S.
