Thanks i,ll give it a go.Give me something to do on dark winter nights.(Beats watching soaps with girlfriend haha)

I was looking at lutras floats there really good.i wouldnt mind having a go .what type of paints do you use.

With the amount of small roach i was thinking the same thing so i'll definitely let u know how it goes.

I totally agree.Im definitely going back it's only 3/4 of an hour away.Also looking into other similar places to try over next month or so. GARY

It certainly is and only 4 quid for a ticket.

glendarroch loch Hi the link above wich i hope works first time i've tried this,is couple of pics of the loch and my brother with a wee tench. We got there early morning got set up, in my excitement of fishing a new loch I forgot to put the line through the bale arm luckily i remembered a tip from this forum about taking the spool off (thanks).The loch itself is almost completely covered in lillies with small swims cut out and casting is a bit tight as its surrounded by trees.we set about fishing catching small roach straight away then my brother caught a small tench ,then steve a friend of my brothers caught a small bream followed by another.At the end of the day between us we had about 60 small roach,three tench to about 2lb,three bream to about 1and a half pound and a small perch.All in all a good day .Although my brother wasn't very happy he didn't catch any carp i'm afraid he has been commercialised he said he'd only go back if they cleared the lillies and cut back the trees.I fear that nothing can be done for him poor boy .

Hi all,has anyone fished glendarroch loch near newton stewart,was thinking of taking my brother there for a days fishing.Any tips would be helpful.Thanks in advance. Gary.

Thanks for the info i downloaded picasa which is simple to use (suits me).But i tried to update my profile picture ,i got the updated message but no picture.Unless its something i cant do yet being a newbie.Or something im doing wrong being a bit computer illiterate.

Your story certainly took me back about 30 yrs im 42 now.My friends and i used to meet up with our bikes our dads old rods,scrounged tackle.We never caught a lot (mostly small roach)but we enjoyed ourselves and every fish was a bonus.It was just being there and the anticipation of getting that big fish.(we never did)

EACH TO HIS OWN!!!!!!

well many thanks and youre certainly not a bad bunch. .one question how do you get photos down to 100kb tried cropping them but still couldn't reach it for profile Many thanks Gary
