Mattie Devine from Hagston took 9 on a Diawl Bach, David Savage, Edinburgh, 7 including one at 8lbs 8oz on an Olive Damsel, Jacky Hay, Haddington, 5 on Buzzers and ‘fish of the week’ went to Derek DeMarco from Haddington with a great fish of 13lbs taken on a Yellow Dancer – the fish was safely released.
4. MORTON (Livingston) NO REPORT THIS WEEK
5. ORCHILL LOCH (Braco) The fish have been caught from about 2 feet and down to about 9 feet on a wide variety of flies from Diawl Bach to various Fritz patterns. Tex Nicol from Cornton had 2 fish for 6lbs on a Damsel, Greg Hoggan, Stirling, 3 for 7lbs 8oz on an Ally McCoist and a Lime Green Buzzer, C. Meiklejohn, Stirling, 3 for 7lbs on a Cat and Jim Marshall from Stirling used an Ally McCoist to take a brace weighing 4lbs 8oz.

Nicol, Arbroath, 3 for 8lbs on an Orange Fritz and Jim McArthur from Queenzieburn had 3 for 8lbs on a Mini Cat.
6. SWANSWATER (Stirling) There were some good days and some bad days, weather-wise this week, with the fishing being pretty good all week. Those who ventured out in the worst of the weather were well rewarded with fish as were those who visited on the better days. The fish were to be found in a number of different areas – sometimes the island and overflow area were doing well, other times they were being taken in the far bay and the boat area. Depth varied as well, with fish being taken at anything from 2 feet to 6 feet down. Favourite patterns included Cat’s Whisker, Dancer, Damsel, Buzzer, Diawl Bach, Black Spider and Bloodworm. For most of the week the water was clear, although the heavy rain on Friday night coloured things a bit on Saturday. Sunday saw the water clearer again and conditions were very good for the start of the new week.
Les Cooper, Dunblane, 3 for 12lb 13oz including 7lb 5oz Tiger, the biggest Tiger landed this winter and just 3oz short of the record, Andy Tervit, Paisley, 2 for 8lb 4oz including 5lb 8oz Tiger, Andy Steininger, Peebles, 5 for 16lb 8oz including 2 Blues, bigger one at 4lb 4oz and Barry Little, Peebles, 5 for 16lb 2oz including 4lb 8oz Rainbow and 2 Blues. G McPhillips, Dunipace, 5 for 13lb 10z from the Meadow Pond including 3 Blues, biggest at 5lb, Alan Knox, Peebles, 5 for 13lb 12oz including 3 Blues, plus 3 caught and released, Andy McManus, Hamilton, 4 for 13lb 12oz including a Blue and Andrew Paterson, Glasgow, 4 for 12lb 8oz including 2 Blues, bigger one at 4lb 12oz.Tam Rogerson, Kennet, 4 for 11lb 4oz, plus 3 caught and released, Graham Arthur, Stirling, 3 for 10lb including 4lb 8oz Tiger, plus 2 caught and released, John Mooney, Queenzieburn 3 for 10lb and Alec Floyd, visiting from Brazil, 3 for 9lb 12oz including 4lb 8oz Tiger. Malcolm Miller, Clackmannan, 3 for 9lb 4oz, Joe Hunter, Tullibody, 3 for 8lb and John Carberry, Glasgow, had 8 on catch and release.
7. WOODBURN (Milton of Campsie) A number of hardy anglers have been fishing this high lying fishery in recent weeks with some considerable success and Alan Cuzen and Alex O’Rourke from Glasgow took 6 rainbows for 18lbs on their two visits with Alex bagging the biggest at 5lbs 2oz. Mr Meechan from Kirkintilloch had 3 rainbows for 7lbs on maggot, Mr Thomson from Kilsyth also used maggot to take a brace weighing 4lbs and David Connor from Lennoxtown caught 4 for 11lbs on the worm. The top taking flies of late have been the Black & Green Fritz, Ally McCoist and the Yellow Dancer. On the fly fishing front Mr Smith from East Kilbride caught 3 for 8lbs, Mr Anderson from Cumbernauld had 14 fish on a catch and release ticket over two visits and Peter Tanner from Kirkintilloch took 3 for 7lbs.
