Loch Ettrick
This well stocked scenic 20-acre loch is surrounded by hills and forest, the water is clear and the free rising fish are very hard fighting.
To enjoy Loch Ettrick, good tactics are required. Dry fishing is a favourite tactic with floating lines and a variety of patterns. Mayflies and Buzzers are some of the best flies in summer.
The loch is stocked with rainbow trout from 13 inches, a lot of fish in the 1lb 4oz to 2lb range, and some up to 8lb. A population of wild brown trout contains fish up to 4lb, the record brown trout being 8lb 3oz.
Facilities include a period boat house and toilets. Tuition can be arranged and the fishing is suitable for disabled anglers. Four boats are available (including the famous "Lady Betsy"), each suitable for up to three adults.(didn't see any sign of these boats and boat house looked pretty run down)
The Cache
the Black Widow. Isn't she lovely?...And so deadly. Her kiss is
fifteen times as poisonous as that of the rattlesnake.
You see her venom is highly neurotoxic, which is to say
that it attacks the central nervous system causing
intense pain, profuse sweating, difficulty in
breathing, loss of consciousness, violent convulsions
and, finally...Death. You know what I think I love the
most about her is her inborn need to dominate,
possess. In fact, immediately after the consummation
of her marriage to the smaller and weaker male of the
species she kills and eats him...(laugh) oh, she is
delicious...And I hope he was! Such power and dignity
...unhampered by sentiment. If I may put forward a
slice of personal philosophy, I feel that man has ruled
this world as a stumbling dimented child-king long
enough! And as his empire crumbles, my precious Black
Widow shall rise as his most fitting successor!
