All in a day’s fishing! Thursday October 20, 2011 Matt (my son) and I went up to fish Tiln Lake at about 1.30 pm. The weather was moderately warm with some cloud cover but occasional bright sun and a firm breeze blowing from left to right down the centre of the lake. |

We left it to its ‘slumbers’ and resumed fishing. 10 minutes later we watched it run energetically further up the bank into long grass and cover where it disappeared. The ‘beast’ in question was a weasel, small, perhaps 6 or 7 inches long with a white front but not ,as far as we could see, a black tip to its tail which I believe a stoat has. Do weasels swim? Most definitely and very well too. Why did this one swim up and down the lake? We have absolutely no idea. To cap a strange day we were also visited by an Osprey which flew twice round the lake then disappeared. We were surprised as we thought they would have already have flown back to Africa by then. Additionally we were asked by a gentleman if we had seen a crashed plane! It turned out that the model ‘plane flying club had lost a power glider 3 weeks previously so we spent a little time helping him look round but to no avail. We did manage a trout each in between all the other distractions. Pete Aldwinckle |
