FORBES
OF KINGENNIE
(Broughty Ferry) It
was another busy week at Forbes of Kingennie with a lot of rods out
this week catching lots of fish. The rain over the weekend has
coloured the water slightly but it is not too bad at the moment The
Burnside
has once again been the most productive pond with the fish being well
spread out and the best catches have been coming from the top end of
the pond. The Cat’s Whisker Cats has been the favoured lure as well
as Blobs, Bloodworms and Black and Green Fritz lures fished on an
intermediate line. Mr Hampton caught 10 fish and lost the same again
fishing Cats on Friday and Mr Simpson braved the miserable weather on
Sunday and kept 4 fish for 10lb 6oz and returned a further 11
including a couple of nice blues. The Boathouse hasn't been too busy
but those who fished have managed there fish without too much hassle.
Most of the fish seem to be sat around the island and have fallen
mostly to lures. The best fish this week went to Mr Watson with a 6lb
13oz rainbow caught on an Apps Bloodworm. The water in the Bankside
is quite clear and this has shown with a lot of fish falling to
Buzzers and Nymphs although lures have again taken there share. The
Ferry Fly Dressers fished on Saturday and the 5 rods kept 11 fish for
24lb. The Woodside
has again produced good numbers of fish, with nearly every angler
managing fish. As always Powerbait and spinners being the preferred
method. Mr Hogan took his four fish in just over 45 minutes. Mr
Herald took 4 fish for 7lb on Powerbait.

MARKLE
(East
Lothian) The Diawl Bach was a very effective pattern last week with
Mattie Devine from Hagston taking 8 on it, Jocky Dyatt, Dalkeith,
took 5 and Gordon Bunce from Mayfield had 10. John Horsburgh from
Edinburgh used a Blob to take 4, Eddie Peden, Tranent, 6 on Buzzers,
David Savage, Edinburgh, 7 on a Montana and Mick Mulgrew from
Danderhall had 9 on a Lime Buzzer. Neil Keillor from Dunbar had a
whopping catch of 14 on a Lime Buzzer and a Cat’s Whisker and the
Fritz and Flies heat saw 24 anglers catching 94 fish with Carl Nixon
being the winner with a fine catch of 13 fish.

ORCHILL
LOCH
(Braco)
The water has continued to
fish very well at varying depths despite the amount of rain that has
fallen. There seems to be no favourite fly with many different ones
taking fish. J Alexander from Cornton had a brace for 9lbs – best
7lbs on a Yellow Dancer, Tex from Cornton took 2 for 6lbs on a Yellow
Dancer, Robert Garvie, Lennoxtown, 3 for 8lbs on a Black Damsel and C
Graham from Lennoxtown caught 2 weighing 4lbs on a 2
Black & Green Fritz. Jack Gibb from Clackmannan had 2 for 8lbs on
a Coral Fritz, Hamish Carmichael, Tullibody, 3 for 10lbs on a Coral
Fritz, Ronnie Stanovich, Glasgow, 3 for 8lbs on a Kate McLaren and
Andy Airnes from Clackmannan, bagged 4 for 9lbs on Buzzers. Last but
not least Bryon Martin from Alva took 4 for 10lbs 4oz on Buzzers.

SWANSWATER
(Stirling)
The
bigger Tigers seemed to wake up this week with some spectacular
results! Seven Tigers over 5lb were landed with two lucky anglers
taking two each. These fish are in excellent condition and are giving
anglers a terrific fight. In general the ponds were fishing better in
the mornings than in the afternoons, with the exception being Sunday
when the fishing was very good all day. The fish have been well
spread out round the main pond, 5-6 feet down early in the week,
around 3 feet down towards the end of the week and in the top couple
of feet on Sunday. No matter what the depth, the fish were usually
looking for something to chase and many anglers were reporting a lot
of pulls and tugs that did not connect. The usual selection of flies
was working well with Dancer, Cat’s Whisker, Damsel, Diawl Bach,
Buzzer and Bloodworm being the most successful.Brian
