Very nice.
I don't have the confidence to go after the toothy critters myself :surrender:
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

I'm the same lucky, although they look fierce and intimidating creatures they are incredibly delicate, I know some clubs offer "handling" courses.

Cracking brace indeed. Lomond is a magical place. The photos look like night fishing, how do you get on with this given that they've banned wild camping due to the idiots and their litter? Are the rules relaxed for anglers?

They were fishing from one of the many islands on Lomond.i believe they had to book it,eight folk at a time.i don't know the exact details.
I'm not sure if they allow night fishing as long as you don't camp e.g set up tent on the mainland.

Great fish. Only last week my son walked the West Highland Way and past Loch Lomond along it's banks. If you saw a young bedraggled young chap with an enormous rucksack then that would have been him. He's now on route somewhere between Fort William and Inverness along the banks of Loch Ness!
