The following reports are for the week ending Sunday, 29 May 2011.
1. BUTTERSTONE (Dunkeld) The weather made for challenging conditions last week but 73 boats braved the wind and rain managing 300 fish between them. The first 2 man competition took place and the top 2 boats were Butterstone old timers Jack and Vic in first place with a bag of 11 fish weighing 21lbs 4oz with 6 returned with a default 2lb each per fish making a bag total of 33lbs 4oz and Steven Gill & Steve Gamill came in second with 12 fish weighing 29lb and 1 return giving them a total of 31lb. The next monthly competition is on the 30th of June giving you the opportunity to pit you skills against our dream team Jack & Vic
The next competition is on the 16th of June for the J. Crocket Trophy when 2 man teams will compete for the honour of showing off the trophy for a year and a purse of £300 - so good hunting. It costs £80 for the team with breakfast and lunch included.

4. HOLL (near Kinross) The fishing has been good recently with some excellent catches being recorded. Mr Forgan from Leven had 4 for 11lbs 6oz, Mr Moss, Glenrothes, 4 for 11lbs, Mr Davis, Markinch, 3 for 7lbs 9oz and Mr Smith, Glenrothes, 4 for 10lbs 14oz. The North Berwick A/C took 33 fish weighing 80lbs 13oz and the Rainbow AC had 34 fish for 85lbs.
5. MARKLE (East Lothian) It was a terrific week for very big fish with Tommy Dickson from Dunbar taking a brace for 36lbs 8oz on a Hawthorn Fly with the heaviest tipping the scales at 20lbs and on a subsequent visit he used a White Rabbitiser to bag a rainbow of 14lbs. Bruce Hunter from Edinburgh had one at 10lbs 8oz on a lure, Thomas from Prestonpans took one at 14lbs, Paul Rae, Hawick, had one at 11lbs and Gordon Scott, Lilliesleaf, had a brace weighing 27lbs 12oz – best 14lbs 4oz. Peter Craig from Dunbar used Buzzer to catch one at 15lbs 8oz, Ross Wilson North Berwick took 2 for 19lbs 8oz – best 12lbs on a CDC, James Fleming, Tranent, had one for 11lbs 8oz on a Damsel and the Honeywell AC had a good outing catching 22 fish for 79lbs.
6. ORCHILL LOCH (Braco) The Strathcarron Hospice Charity Day was held on Sunday and this on-going fundraiser has raised no less than £3,256 throughout the year which is brilliant consider that the fishery was closed for three and a half months due to the bad weather. This money has been raised thanks to the generosity of the fly and coarse anglers and a big thank you also goes to Margaret Wilson who makes the tablet which made £672. This year everyone missed Rab Mitchell, who sadly passed away last year, but will always be remembered as this day was started in his wife's memory. The competition was won by Wilson Russell with 5 fish for 14lbs 12oz on a Yellow Dancer, William Goldie came second with a catch of 5 fish for 13lbs 2oz on a Damsel and third place went to William Baff with 5 fish for 12lbs 8oz on a Yellow Dancer and this bag also included a fish weighing 4lbs 8oz that proved
to be the fish of the day.
On Thursday, William Smith from Menstrie was delighted to catch a 9lb 12oz specimen in his catch if 3 fish weighing 14lbs 8oz and it took him 20 minutes to bring to the net. Also doing well was William Alexander from Menstrie with 3 fish for 9lbs 8oz on a Cat’s Whisker, Peter Paterson, Menstrie, 3 fish for 7lbs 8oz on a Cat, Robbie Scotland, Stirling, 3 for 8lbs on a Yellow Blob, Sam Neilson, Cambusbarron, 5 fish for 14lbs on a Yellow Dancer and Jim McIndoe, Stirling, 2 for 7lbs 8oz on a Yellow Dancer.
7. ORCHIL LOCH COARSE PONDS (Braco) The match on Sunday was again fished in very windy and showery conditions so everyone is hoping that next week-end it is a nice warm sunny day for a change. The match was one by Mark Cook with 36lbs 11oz, Tony Ball came second with 23lbs 11oz, Barry Morgan was third with 21lbs 6oz and fourth place went to Rab Edwards with 19lbs 140z. Also doing well was Jim Jones with 17lbs 3oz, David Mathews, 16lbs, Nigel Foulds 14lbs 2oz and Craig Postlewaite 12lbs 10oz.
8. SWANSWATER (Stirling) The stormy weather may have deterred some anglers this week but those who did brave the elements were well rewarded. Despite the gale force winds, which uprooted a number of trees around the fishery, and the heavy rain showers, plenty of fish were being caught in all three ponds. When conditions got too severe on Swanswater the more sheltered small ponds provided excellent sport and excellent returns. Most of the week the fish were around 3 to 4 feet deep, sheltering from the wind, and taking a variety of small lures and nymphs. On the small ponds they were nearer the surface, especially during the quieter spells and were being tempted by wet flies, buzzers and bloodworm.
Frank Turner, Cumbernauld, took the biggest fish this week with a 7lb 10oz Rainbow in his 4 for 17lb 10oz which also included a Blue. Jim Craig, Alexandria, had 2 for 9lb 4oz including 7lb 8oz Rainbow and a Brown, Steve Lynn, Stirling, 4 for 15lb 4oz including 7lb 3oz Gold, Peter O’Brien, Camelon, 5 for 16lb and Danny Doherty, Denny, 5 for 15lb including 2 Blues. Archie McClymont, Glasgow, 4 for 13lb 12oz including 2 Blues and a Brown, Les Cooper, Dunblane, 5 for 13lb 12oz including 2 Blues, Alan Whitton, Stirling, 4 for 12lb 4oz including 3 Blues, Kris Laird, Lochgilphead, 4 for 12lb including 3lb 9oz Brown and a Blue and Willie Martin, Stirling 4 for 12lb including 2 Blues. Jim Milne, Alloa, 8 for 20lb including 4 Blues and a Brown, Malcolm McGregor, Dunfermline, 3 for 10lb, John Relf, Falkirk, 3 for 9lb 8oz including 2 Blues, Tam Anderson, Kincardine, 3 for 9lb 8oz including 2 Blues and Mervin Hendry, Cumnock, 3 for 9lb 4oz including 2lb 12oz Brown. Kenneth Hendry, Tullibody, 2 for 7lb 4oz including 4lb 8oz Rainbow, Dave Forsyth, 2 for 7lb 2oz including a Brown, Tom Pate, Alloa, 2 for 6lb 4oz including a Blue and Gary Waugh, Cumbernauld, 2 for 6lb including a Blue.
