    Bob McCutcheon had Crysolite, seen them both pairing when Avoch owned at the sprats in the Beauly, did Gratitude not go down Solway and Crysolite Mallaig?

    Thank you ringnetman, I,ve read quite a bit aboot the ring net fishing, especially the ,  in my opinion ,great Angus Martin,s books, but ther,s nothing to beat hearing or speaking to somebody who,s been there and seen it, as you most certainly have done.. Its interesting that you said that the mid 50s were hungary years, was it the price for the herring or what, cos according to the book  The North Fishing, the Clyde ringers made quite a small fortune during those years,I would be very interested to know, cos drift net and ring net is my interest.. :-
