ANGLING PRESS SERVICES
Issued by Jim Boyd on behalf of the following fisheries on Monday 17 March 2014. The report is for the week ending Sunday, 16 March 2014.
1. FRANDY (Gleneagles) Fabio Calzetta from Tullibody kept 4 fish weighing 11lb, Ian MacMaster, Cupar, 3 fish for 7lb, William Moonie, Stirling, 3 fish weighing 7lb, Angus Inglis, Callander, 3 fish for 6lb 8oz and released 2 and John Bell from Airth kept 4 fish weighing 9lb and released 6. Ross Brown from Aberdeen caught and released 14, Davie Hunter, Alloa, 3 fish for 6lb 8oz and released 10 and Andy Hunter from Alloa caught and released 12.
The top taking flies and lures have been the Dawson’s Olive, Black Taddie, Yellow Dancer and the Bloodworm whilst the best fishing has been found on the south shore from the Smithscleuchs burn to the dam wall.
2. FORBES OF KINGENNIE (Broughty Ferry) It has been another warm week at Forbes of Kingennie and the sport is improving all the time with more and more fish being caught using the natural approach when the wind has allowed. The Boathouse has seen most rods manage to take their fish with not too much hassle, even in the gin clear water. As always lures have been the main line of attack with Orange Blobs and Black and Green Lures being mentioned most. Mr Horne had 3 fish for 16lb 7oz the largest being an 8lb 2oz rainbow. Mr Chalmers had 2 fish for 10lb 6oz the best being a 6lb 9oz rainbow taken on a Hare’s Ear. The Burnside is getting clearer by the day and the buzzer fishing is getting better all the time as long as you can get on the fish as they still seem to being slightly shoaled up. This pond has had the best rise of fish when the conditions suit and there have been a lot of fish coming out to Black Shuttlecocks with a red butt. Lures are still catching fish but again it is more important to find where they are as they aren’t too fussy on fly patterns. Mr Smart returned 13 fish in 4 hours on cormorants and Mr McLean had 4 fish for 9lb and then returned another 8 fishing various lures. The Bankside hasn’t changed too much with fish well spread out around the pond in close to the edges. Nymphs have been better than buzzers but this has just been because of where the fish have been sat in the margins. Black and green Lures and a Peach Hot Head have been the best lures fished fairly fast. Mr Fleming had 3 fish for 8lb and put back another 6 on lures. Mr Thompson put back 11 fish on a Black Tadpole on a floating line. The Woodside has continued to produce a huge amount of fish getting caught on nearly every method. Spinning and Powerbait have been the best options and the fish are really starting to move around the pond with less fish being sat in a shoal. Mr Smith took the biggest fish of the week with a 2lb 12oz blue trout in a bag of 4 for 7lb. Mr Davies had 4 fish for 7lb on sweet corn.
3. MARKLE (East Lothian) It was a great week for the catch and release anglers with some bumper catches going into the record books. Mattie Devine from Hagston used a Diawl Bach to get 27, Drew Fairgrieve, Prestonpans, 20 on various lures, Steve Rodgers, Edinburgh, 20 on a Black & Green Cat and Robert Black from Haddington managed 14 on a Black & Green lure. Tommy Dickson from unbar had 12 including the fish of the week at 15lbs 4oz on a Black Rabbit, ark Anderson, Musselburgh, used a Blob o take one at 13lbs 8oz, Bob Sleight, Edinburgh, had one at 8lbs on a Damsel, Jimmy Riddock, Maybole, one at 11lbs 3oz on a Red Buzzer and M Godfrey from Mayfield had one at 12lbs 8oz on a Black Rabbit.
4. MORTON (Livingston) NO REPORT THIS WEEK
5. ORCHILL LOCH (Braco) It was a great start to this week with lovely sunny days bringing anglers out for the first time this season. To get some dry days has made the fishing a real pleasure. There have been plenty of fish rising but again they are mainly taking just under the surface to about 3 - 4 feet down. A wide variety of lures have been taking but mainly it has been small Nymphs and Buzzers that are doing well.
On Saturday, he Linden FFC caught 24 fish for 46lbs 8oz with Robert Wright having the heaviest basket with 4 for 10lbs on a small Gold and Red fly.

Several were landed over the weekend including the first of the season which was taken on Saturday morning by Willie Nyguist of Stirling. The more spring-like weather has led to an increase in water temperature to 6.5oC which in turn led to the fish being caught around 2 to 3 feet down for most of the week. They were well spread out round the pond although the island was a hot spot on Friday, when it was very windy and anglers need to have the wind on their back to get a decent cast out. Black Tadpole, Ace of Spades, Blue Dancer, Ally McCoist, Damsel, Spider, Diawl Bach, Bibio and Buzzer were amongst the best patterns this week.
