Guided Pike Fishing On Loch Lomond

 

Loch Lomond can produce some cracking pike right through out the year, In the summer months they can be found in most of the bays around the loch. Pike fishing from the boat allows you to cover a lot more areas  around the loch sometimes its only a matter of a small move around a bay to track them down.

A great wee day on the Edradynate beat upper river Tay with two salmon landed 13 lb & 10 lb . Both caught in the Church pool. There was quite a few fish moving through today mostly in the morning, but it took us till early afternoon to hook in to our first fish, which was a sea licer and was 13 lb Then in late evening we caught our second fish from the top of the pool at the croys on the right bank . Nice to be seeing fish moving through more often just wish they would hang about a bit longer in the pools.
