Another day of equinoctial south-westerly gales and lashing drizzle, but not enough to deter us from a walk over the bogs to Loch Beannach in search of those arctic char. Casting direction from the bank was effectively dictated by the weather, but we'd chosen this loch for its orientation to the wind and road, so all was well!
Result: 5 brown trout, all 6" - 8", all caught and released on a reddish Wyatt-pattern deer hair sedge.
Possibly also a sighting of a sea eagle in the very far distance, and when the mizzle lifted for just a moment, an awe-inspiring glimpse of Suilven off to the south.
