Tom and David decided that a day on the Lake of Menteith was not enough and headed off up to Butterstone on Tuesday 3 April, to check out the new lodge for the B&BAC visit on 28 Apr. All was in order, we are pleased to report.
On Sunday when I told Fiona what we were doing she immedaitely asked if we had seen the weather forecast for tuesday - I replied that I hadn't and they always get it wrong, anyway. Well, it transpired that they were predicting snow and freezing temperatures - and for once they didn't get it wrong!
Still, the fish were pretty cooperative and a selection of junk food ensured that we had 16 in the boat before the cold and our respective lenghty drives home sent us off the water at 4.20. I hope the fish prove to be similarly cooperative at the end of the month. I have posted a couple of pics in the 2012 Pic Page.
