Issued by Jim Boyd on behalf of the following fisheries on Tuesday, 10 January 2012
The following reports are for the week ending Sunday, 08 January, 2012.

1. FRANDY (Gleneagles) CLOSED UNTIL MARCH 2012

2. FORBES OF KINGENNIE (Broughty Ferry) The fishing this week at Forbes of

Kingennie has been steady with high winds and some heavy rain colouring the water

but it hasn't put the fish off to much. The Boathouse has continued to fish well with

most fish falling to lures such as the Yellow Dancer, Black and Gold Humungous

and Apps Bloodworm taking most fish. The Burnside has been the most coloured

with most fish being taken on either black lures or the ever consistent Orange Blob.

As the water clarity has improved there have been quite a few fish coming out on

Black Buzzers as well. The fish in the Bankside have nearly all been coming out to

Nymphs, small Flashback Diawl Bachs and the Hares Ear. The Woodside has been

very consistent at the moment with nearly all the fish falling to power bait although

the worm and spinner are still taking fish.
