The mighty Loch Glow - home of, if memory serves, the Civil Service Angling Club (Rosyth and District); which might explain the empties! I think the CS open it up to clubs to have the odd outing at reasonable cost; the reason why I've been a few times. As a spot, I've generally caught well on the fly; but it can be windy as feck.

 

I once had the pleasure of watching an Osprey catch about 100-yards away fro where I was wading. Nice fish taken in one swoop. (I'd been freezing my knackers off waist deep in a gale for a few hours!) Such is the plight of the lonely angler.

 

As a fellow fly fisherman, and keen wader, I appreciate all that you say.

 

However, what would you recommend as the best team of flies for Loch Glow, given reasonable weather?

 

I presume it's stocked with rainbows, so I'd probably just tend to start with a Cat's Whisker on a floating line, maybe moving to a team of buzzers later in the day. However, if it's brown trout then I like a Blae and Black, Iron Blue Dun or a Greenwell's Glory at this time of year. Looked like most folk were bait fishing though, so perhaps the garden fly is deadliest?

Hi and sorry for the delay in responding. I'm having a self-imposed sabbatical from the forum. Exam time, mature student and head up my a*** just now; but I'll get there. (Note to self: WTF didn't you stick in at at school!!).

 

Anyway, Loch Glow is a favourite haunt for many fishing clubs; mainly because, as far as commercial fisheries go, it's cheap (think because of the civil service ownership thing so it isn't all about profit). Prices were something like £8 for all-day and four fish. TBH, if you're into stockie-bashing you could probably catch and hide.

 

The top parts of the loch generally cater for the danglers as not too far to take your carry-out! Further round the wading is good but it is quite a big stretch of water so be prepared to walk. Mainly stocked rainbows with a few wild broonies. My team of flies would be Clyde-style, small and black: spiders, blae and black, bluebottle (all on a black theme). The wind can be a bast*** so generally intermediate line for me - can get them out then work them at semi-depth. But floating when it's calm would be ok. (Winter would be a sinking line to get depth; but you'd need to have serious neoprenes to wade in the cold!)

 

I don't especially like stocked fisheries and prefer wild water - even if I don't catch. I guess it's just getting away that's the enjoyable thing.

 

Tight lines mate :)

 

Cheers

boring pedant, nothing decent to say so u pull people up for grammar n spelling. brilliant. zzzzzzzzzz

 

Aye right. Here's your idea of something "decent" from earlier in the thread:

 

"socialism encourages people to be lazy, work shy, and it also robs people of their self worth. too many people went on the sick when labour was on power. junkies and alchys gettin away wae it. the tories or ukip wid gie them a kick up the arse. u lovey dovey fairy boys have to get back in the real world"

 

To use "ure own wurdz": brilliant zzzzzzzzzzz.

 

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

I'd have put money on you piping up.

 

Is he wrong? Well, I'm not exactly sure of what he's getting at exactly, given the car-crash, almost indecipherable nature of the rant. Is he talking about everybody getting robbed? How are "junkies and alchys gettin away wae it"? The tories have been in power for some time now, and when I look around.........

 

So, probably yes, wrong.

 

 

Oh, and you should also work on punctuation.

:P

jaggy bunnet mate, don't worry about this cretin. he's lost the argument, knows bolshevism will get no one anywhere, so he's pulling up grammar. if anything is indicative of losing an argument, this cretin's school teacher nonsense is it. away and greet about that pillow tax or whatever you're callin it. it's actually very ironic the socialists are greetin about a bedroom tax, coz that's where these students spend most of their day, watchin murder she wrote and doing the guardian crossword. god, the tories might scare them out their bedroom and make them all run to faslane or to another lie down protest to stop another autobahn. Live the dream but socialists. yer full of shit but int you? yer all capitalists. i've saw youze standing at your beatnik stands in george sq and buchanan st. youze sell that worker bumwad newspaper for 2 quid n it's only 8 pages big. no way does that cost 2 quid to make. (capitalist socialists lol) if u were such a socialist u'd be doin it for cost price, which is probably nothing. in fact, you shid be paying people to read your voice of alzheimer nonsense. get in the real world, brush yer teeth, get a respectable hair cut and get a job like the rest of us. earn respect, no one hands it out willy nilly. i'm not having a go, just tryin to life coach you all so u can all stop being so crap in the future. oh and you're all welcome by the way

If you must stay up all night drinking, remember the cheaper stuff is more expensive in the end as it rots your vital organs as well as your nut, mate. You're welcome.

Superb, and Jaggy's even found a bum chum who's even more right-wing barking than him. You tell him Jaggy son, no competition on this forum! There's really only room for one of Thatcher's children on this forum and you're the big dog. (Trying to pull this back on message right to the end. why do I bother!) Can I throw something at your civil partnership? Thinking flowers or even coal for luck (an old Fife tradition).

any pearls and handbag and bouffant lovers wish to comment on this list of shame?

 

or shall we just sweep these and other acts under the carpet for another 30 years?

 

Fascist bast*rds every one of them. We knew about the hit list then, and we know it now to be a palpable truth. May that gorgon never rest in anything resembling peace.
