Day 2
Friday Tumarran Loch.

Calm, low cloud, midgies! Often overlooked on early trips to the Island, this Loch has come to fascinate me. It’s gin clear water and reluctant Brown Trout make it unique. Perseverance and stealth can produce stunning fish seemingly from nowhere. Two decades ago a regular visiting angler and Baptist Minister had told me this. Nowadays I never walk past Tumarran Loch!


Day 3.
Saturday East Loch Fada.
4 Brown Trout 3 @ 3/4lbs, 1 @ 11/4 lbs. 8.5 ft Colonsay Fly rod. Intermediate line no.6 / floating no.6 , Hardy Viscount 140. Mini muddler Kehe
Fresh NW wind. Loch low with heavy weed growth.



A.T.F.
Enjoyed your Colonsay fishing diary. I’ve visited for 30 years and most of those, enjoyed a fish or two.
