LATE REPORT

KINGENNIE (Broughty Ferry) The fishing last week at Forbes of Kingennie saw some superb catches with large numbers of fish being caught from all the ponds.

The dry fly has really come into its own on the Burnside with nymphs being very successful at the Boathouse now that the water is very clear again. The Bankside is has also fishing very well with most patterns taking fish. There have also been some very large fish caught on the Bankside which has made the fishing quite interesting.

On the Boathouse the top method has been a floating line with a Hothead Damsel. However, with the clear water the use of nymphs and buzzers has been very effective. The average size of fish this week has been around the 6lb mark with the biggest fish going to J Tuberfeild with a rainbow of11lb 9oz. The biggest bag this week was taken By G Smith with 4 rainbows for 34lb.  The Burnside has been on great form with most fish being caught on dries or buzzers. Lures are still taking fish but they do seem preoccupied with naturals. The top patterns have been small dries such as Shuttlecocks and Sugar Cube Shipman's. Black buzzers and red Diawl Bachs have also taken a lot of fish. The biggest fish this week was caught by J Greenfield with a brown of 5lb on a Montana. The biggest bag was taken by S Rodger with 4 fish for 6lb with 24 on catch and release.

The Bankside really has been fishing well with fish being caught on everything from Blobs and Bunny Leeches to tiny dries and nymphs. There have been some big fish taken this week with 3 fish over double figures being caught. The biggest was taken by S Gordon with a 12lb rainbow that was returned. The biggest bag was taken by T Webster with 5 fish for 17lb – best 7lbs.

The Woodside has continued to fish well with most fish coming to the spinner or the worm. However there are still fish coming to Powerbait and maggots. The biggest fish of the week was taken by F Small at 3lb.The biggest bag was taken by the Black family with 10 fish for 16lb.
