North Esk Again.

North Esk, By the Riding School, Lasswade.

Cant say my heart was really in this trip. Ended up packing it in for a bit and going for a walk up the valley. This wasn't because i was not catching fish, i still managed to catch 5. I somehow managed to foul hook 2 though on the dry, i've not fool hooked a fish in over 2 years i think. The fly life was astounding, you couldn't put it down to one species, just clouds of all sorts flying past my head.

North Esk, By Polton

This weir is almost totally destroyed, i hope most of them go the same way. Large parts of the Esk is completely impassable to fish.
