Thanks Colin just get lucky now and again... no I don't give lessons I wouldn't consider myself qualified just a hobby for my days off. Was down again today . Went and fished beat 3 again not much happening . 3 fish two to dries and my first of the season on a nymph.

Been down 3-4 times so far had fish each time though hatches have been brief and risers few and far between. Today best fish was a beauty at 3lb on the nail roll on May.

Cheers Colin, yes that occurred to me after the incident, it's fair enough asking for a permit but the hostile and unfriendly attitude isn't really necessary. Sod's law went over on my ankle lastnight so no wading for me for a while.

Was down today was quite good a good number of fish to dries the east wind helped a lot with presentation. now a major rant; today a supposed club member of which I've seen before on the river stormed down my pool spooking my pool then asking me first where I was from , I replied Linlithgow then to see my permit Which I said sure . He then said I doesn't matter then said you'll probably get asked by a committee member further upstream. I then walked upstream when he once again walked past the pool as I was covering the fish . I asked him if he wouldn't mind keeping a distance, as it's only common angling courtesy. His reply was I can walk where I like and if you don't like it go back to Linlithgow. I don't know whether this person has had run ins with people from Linlithgow in the past , but his people skills are atrocious, manners non existent To be honest I think he's a bit territorial about that Kirkliston stretch of the almond I've met him briefly before only to hear I was here first which was fair enough so I moved further upstream giving . any way I don't think it's a good idea that people which ain't willing to treat fellow person with respect to go around asking people for permits. Rant over. Colin w

Was down there yesterday for a walk , river looked good but I was there after hatch times so never saw any rising fish , there was a couple of lads spinning on the opposite bank.

Hi , I don't seen the 2017 form on the site for download. Will the 2016 one suffice? Looking forward to a new season on the river. Colin

We update . Was on beta 2 and 3 today, amazing hatch of fly , I've lost a couple of b ruisers in the last week today's maybe between 2 and half maybe 3 , both went into the bank side willows. I tried Tom apply some siside strain but on both occasions fly parted . Never mind . Loving fishing the river at ghe moment plenty of fish to cast at of a good average size and the clarity is fantastic.

Was up again today got there for about 12 ish the hatch a wee bit slower but had thd odd riser from the off took fish on klinkhammers and CDC,s . It's looking like a really good season on the river , had another just under the two pound mark today plenty over the pound too. Still looking for that big fella on the feed.

Had a good day on the river today came across some really nice fish landed two of them the best of them 2 1/4 lb to a size 14 klinkhammer . There was one tight to a tail of a pool I really should have done better with dragged kicked in if this rain doesn't colour up the water I'll try again tomorrow, if not I'll be heading for the coast.
