Good to see you smile Iain, nice bright grilse you had there to christen the new rod too, well done. Oracle are nice rods with a good action, hope it catches you many more trout, sea trout and salmon.Cheers Peter. 🥃🍺
Well done iain, i gave up the ayr, the people that run some of the clubs and the unfriendly atitudes just made me move on. Ive arthritis of the knees and had asked about access on the mauchline clubs facebook page and was told stuff like "man up" etc, i was even threatened, its quite ridiculous. Youve no idea the stuff i heard at the riverbank too, ayrshire rivers trust, a fantastic organisation, have my sympathy considering what theyve to deal with. The official figures at the clubs need to stop accusing and gossiping at get together and work for tge good of the river not accuse folk of this and that behind their backs, shocking
@@FraserCheyne sorry to here you had a bad experience on the Ayr. I just try and ignore the politics and concentrate on the fishing. I get what your saying about people not showing you around the river but sometimes you just have to spend the time and find these things out for yourself. Its look me years so figure out the stretch I fish thru trial and error but thats part of the fun.
I agree they are good rods. that one is only a 7/8, I like the rod and its light and casts great. Just not quite enough stopping power for my liking I discovered after a bit of use but still like the rod. Should have gone for the 8/9 next time
HI mate. Im sorry but I dont know who made the wading staff. I bought it will a salmon set up a few years ago. Its a must in my opinion if fly fishing and wading. Couple of times its saved my bacon when wading and not knowing the river lay out. As you can test the depth with the staff as you walk. Especially when the river is high and you cant see the bottom. Its one solid bit of metal if thats any use.

They're great wee rods Iain. I've got the 8/9 and it's a joy to cast with a Barrio switch line.
