Just to get the facts completely straight Ken, Yes we do stock trout.
However the Brownies are completely indigenous and run to some good sizes -
10lbs plus.

We see the advantage of the stockies being that its good for the youngsters
and less proficient anglers to still have great sport. The truly big
specimens are either completely wild or in the case of the stocked specimens
they have developed a wariness commensurate with that size as most of our
stock fish are less than 2lbs in weight .

I'm sorry you won't be bothered to drop by. You will miss the banter of
more generously spirited souls.

Sounds like a good idea! Anyone fancy one at Harelaw?

Well, that'd be different anyway.

We are thoroughly spoiled on this side of the pond. I
just can't imagine fishing for stocked fish in a great
big fish bowl. And Harelaw was voted 5th best trout
fishery in Scotland ? That's ... well, hell I don't
know what that is except I won't be planning any fishing
vacations to Scotland anytime soon.

Instead of a Scotland 'Clave you should consider coming
over here for a 'Clave. We've pretty much settled into
a spring 'Clave in Pennsylvania, a summer 'Clave in
Montana, a fall 'Clave in North Carolina and a winter
'Clave on the San Juan in New Mexico along with a few
others on the east coast and in the midwest. We have
had at least a couple of European 'Claves that I know
of but the Euro roffians seem to have gone underground
lately.
