 I've got my notes here but it goes without saying that it is good to see you all and also that we miss the people that aren't able to come here today for whatever reason. Not necessarily that we didn't invite them, so it's only 30 votes but we'll do that. Thanks to Stuart, the driver for his institution. Thank you very much. Douglas recently celebrated 30 years of service to the fishery. I'll enjoy that Douglas. Alan is quite a good next year, it's our 50th anniversary so with a bit of deduction, Elma was in it from the start so that means she's been working here for 39 years. As a wee point of interest today, I think the zombie trout should still be out there. It's a strange looking thing with a yellow pigmentation. I think it's quite attractive but other people go on. First person to catch it, get a photograph and we'll get a free vote. Traditionally it's been a woman that opens the fishing but finding a willing woman. The connection to the fishery was getting increasingly harder to find. So we thought we'll have a change of that and we thought get a VIP and Gordon Watson, who is the chief executive of the National Park, who we're standing today, fits the bill precisely. So thanks, Gordon, for coming along. Pleasure. I understand that I'm a complete breaking tradition as I've said. It's usually an attractive woman who apparently usually gives you a song before you set off. So I can assure you I'm going to break with tradition and I'll have to disappoint you in those two fronts. But I would like to take full credit for the magnificent day that you've got today. It's really magnificent so I'll take full credit for providing you with the weather and I hope you have a great day. It's a real pleasure to be here. The Lakerman Teeth is one of the absolute gems of the National Park. Not only is it one of the best, well, the best and well-known fishery in the National Park. It's a cultural heritage of Inchborough and Priory. It's an important conservation site being a designated water. It's a popular visitor location and it's a place where people can come and see osprey fishing on the lake. I believe we've not actually seen them back this year yet. So maybe as well as catching the fish, anyone who sees the first one today, maybe they'll come back today to give us a shout. Well done. So it's really a magnificent place but obviously most importantly, a great fishing spot in the National Park and fishing is really important right over the National Park. It's a popular pastimes. It brings a lot of people into the park and the great thing about it is how accessible it is for so many people right across Central Scotland and that's what we're here for. It's great to see you all here today. I don't have a song. What I do have for you is a joke I think and a piece of advice. I'm afraid I'm not a fisherman but somebody has given me some advice to read out to you which I'm not convinced about. I might be made about to make a critic of the backside myself but I'll do the joke first. Apparently there was a retired GP who used to live around the Port of Benteith and one day when he was out fishing he got a call from a local farmer whose wife was about to deliver a baby. So having delivered the baby there was nothing around to wait to find out what the birth weight was going to be. Apparently this doctor was very famous for catching very large fish so he had his fishing skills to go and weigh this baby so he got those and went back and weighed the baby and apparently it was 22 pounds, 13 ounces. The advice I have for you today I'm not really convinced about. I'm going to read it anyway and then if you'll either be good advice or you'll be laughing at me because I don't know much about fishing but the best advice we're opening today is to head for the butts. I know that those are the butts but head for the butts, midgetit line, booby on the point, is that correct, booby on the point and black buzzers on the droppers so that's apparently the advice I've been making today. I hope you have a magnificent day. I feel like I've seen a better day in the lake. I really hope this is the start of a great season for you and you get more and more days like this as you go through the season. So without much further ado I'd like to declare the season open and hope you have a great day out there today. Thank you. It's really magnificent to be here on such a beautiful day at the opening of the fishing season on the Lekamyn Teeth. Lekamyn Teeth is one of the great gems of the National Park not only for the quality of the fishing that's available here but the cultural heritage of Inchbone Priory, many families going over to see that and obviously it's great conservation importance as well and a place where we can enjoy things like osprey fishing in the water as well as looking at the magnificent landscape around here. So it's a wonderful place to come. Today I think it was good. You couldn't ask for better weather. We've been blessed with the weather. We're having a roast pork later on, a spit roast and it could be a bit of a disaster if the weather's not good. So it's been fantastic. All our boats are out. People are fighting hand over fist to try and get on so it's never a problem filling the boats on opening day even the worst of weather. But it's great to see everybody. You go for five, six, five months of the year without seeing a lot of people and then suddenly you're inundated. You can get a bit nerdy ensuring that everything's ready for opening day but it's gone well. The tunes were great to see everybody and it was great to have Gordon Watson from the park here just to see what we do. So I'm very pleased with how things have gone.
