2. FORBES OF KINGENNIE (Broughty Ferry) NO REPORT THIS WEEK
3. MARKLE (East Lothian) The cooler weather has got the fish feeding hard resulting in some excellent catches coming off. Best basket last week was Tommy Dickson with 14 fish on Crunchers – best 9lbs and Robert Nicol from Livingston included one at 6lbs 8oz in his bag of 8 taken on a Black Taddie. Tom Russell jnr. From Earlston used Buzzers to bag 12, Alex Rowley, Dalkeith, 7 on Dries, P Hogg, Edinburgh 6 on Buzzers and Chris McGhee from Musselburgh caught 4 on the Bibio. Mick Mulgrew from Danderhall had 3 on Blobs, Bruce Hunter, Edinburgh, 7 on a Black Fritz and Willie Brash from Dalkeith had 7 on a Floating Fry.
4. ORCHILL LOCH (Braco) Although the fish are still taking a variety of dries and lures they have to be tempted slowly with such an abundance of natural feeding in the water just now. With the clear water you can see if they are going to take your fly or not so it is good sport. The Live Line FC (H.E) had a good day taking 36 fish for 89lbs 4oz with G. McKinnon taking the heaviest basket with 3 fish for 11lbs 12oz - the best tipping the scales at 5 lbs.
Sue Heggie from Cairns in Australia had a fish of 2lbs on an Orange Fritz, William Smith, Menstrie, 3 for 11lbs on Sedge, D. Birkmyre, St Fillans, 2 for 6lbs 12oz on a small red fly, Allan Mitchell, Stirling, 2 fish for 5 lbs on Dries and Peter McLean from Clackmannan had 2 fish for 5lbs on Sedge. Jimmy Young from Alloa took 3 fish weighing 9lbs 8oz on a Black Fritz, Joe Kilgannon, Stirling, had a brace for 6lbs 12oz on a Fab, Douglas Murray, Bridge of Allan, 2 for 5lbs on a Black Nymph and Allan Gunn from Aberdeen had 2 fish for 6lbs 4oz on Nymphs. Jamie Deans from Stirling used a Pheasant Tail Nymph to bag 2 for 7lbs and Stewart Terry, Perth, 3 for 9lbs 12oz on Dries and Buzzers.
5. SWANSWATER (Stirling) It was another week of ups and downs at Swanswater with some days fishing really well and others a bit harder. The showery, breezy weather mid-week helped to freshen things up and conditions improved towards the weekend with beautiful clear water and a light breeze to create a nice ripple. The fish were spread out all round the main pond, with the areas around the big tree, around the bridge and behind the island the best places to catch Tigers and Browns. The fish were mostly in the top 2 to 3 feet of the water, although they were sometimes a little deeper at the dam; on the small ponds they were taking just under or on the surface. Favourite patterns included the usual small lures, nymphs such as Hare’s Ear, Diawl Bach and Buzzer, and wets including Kate McLaren and Black Pennell. Dry flies, including Hopper, Daddy, Sedge and Gnat were working on the small ponds, in the burn area and sometimes on the main pond in the evenings.
Archie Campbell, Wishaw, 6lb Rainbow, Frank Barr, Falkirk, 3 for 12lb 8oz including 5lb 8oz Rainbow, Peter O’Brien, Camelon, 5 for 17lb 4oz including 4lb 8oz Brown, Stephen Mason, and son Jordan, Cumbernauld, shared 6 for 21lb 8oz including 3 Blues and Donald McMurchy, Fallin, 4 for 14lb including a Blue. Aaron Kirkwood, Fallin, 4 for 12lb 8oz including 2 Tigers, Danny Doherty, Denny, 4 for 11lb 10oz including a Tiger, Stephen Scott, Fallin, 4 for 11lb including 3 Tigers and a Brown and Brian Maskell, Oban, 3 for 11lb 4oz.
