Great report Harry, sounds like a great days fishing.

Sorry, but can you expand a little on the flies. Like the sound of whatever that hare's ear thingy is.

As for price, I am sure that both Straid and Woodford charge less for a half day or evening ticket.

The reason for me never fishing Craigmore again is that about 6 years ago I took my first bout of angina and high blood pressure. I went to Craigmore and I paid my £20 for my fishing I think back then I took a 5 fish ticket. I walked round the far side of the lake and I took pains in my chest and really didnt feel well. I maybe had 2 casts before the pain got so bad that I had to pack up and head home. On the way round I explained to Darren that I was unwell but would return the next week all being well. The next week I went to fish and only wanted a C+R ticket and he charged me the full whack for the day. I also had a friend come to join me that day and Darren said and I quote " I love this guy £20 every week and he cant fish". If somewhere is that hard up for money then Il never grace it again. I havent fished Craigmore in that 6 years and Il never fish it again.
