Wednesday 10th October

Another trip to Annan by bike from Lochmaben, looking at stretch from Millhousebridge to just above Dalton.  Again some likely spots but no fish seen apart from one small trout (prob) moving and some fry when I put in bits of crumpet in a tree swim.

Saw a couple of salmon fishers who said most fish are still in the estuary, waiting for rain - seems a bit late to me.  Also said this stretch around bridge above Dalton can produce some big catches of grayling.

Things are a bit betwixt and between at the moment for me as day tickets not available until 15th November and no waxwings likely til around the same time.  The autumn sunshine has been enjoyable though, producing some nice light effects through the trees.
