Derek Demarco from Haddington had 7 on a White Lure, David Fairbairn, Edinburgh, 6 on Buzzers and Bruce Hunter, Edinburgh, 7 on a Bloodworm.
4. ORCHILL LOCH (Braco) The wild warm wind has fairly stirred up the fish in the last couple of days and there has been plenty being caught just under the surface or slightly deeper on Goldies, Ally, Buzzers, Yellow Dancer, Bloodworm and the Ace of Spades. On Saturday, in wild conditions, the Goth FFC caught 71 fish for 177lbs 12oz with Connor Leyden having the heaviest basket with 4 fish for 17lbs 4oz best 8lbs 12oz on a Damsel. On their outing the Linden FFC had 23 fish for 62 lbs with Boo Haughton taking the heaviest basket with 4 fish for 12lbs 4oz on a Goldie.

5. SWANSWATER (Stirling) It was a very changeable week with everything from 5 inches of snow to pleasant sunshine to milder but very wet and windy at the weekend. The adverse weather meant that not many anglers ventured out on certain days although the fishing was generally very good. Conditions changed from day to day but the fish were generally around 4 to 5 feet deep and were either in the far bay, in front of the island or at the roadside depending on temperature and wind strength. On Saturday the water was a bit coloured, particularly in the area behind the islands, but this cleared quickly. Favourite patterns included Bloodworm, Buzzer, Cat’s Whisker, Damsel, Dancer, Cormorant, Butcher and Muddler. The Troutmasters Fish-off took place in wet and windy conditions on Saturday and was won by Geoff Gilbert from Peel, Isle of Man. Geoff will represent Swanswater in the final at Grafham in September for the second year running.
Some of those catching fish this week included Geoff Gilbert, on holiday for the week from the Isle of Man, kept 5 for 17lb 1oz including 5lb 1oz Blue, and caught and released 40, Kimin Smith, Plean, 8 for 23lb 8oz including a Blue and a Green and Iain Whitelaw, Dunipace, 5 for 16lb 8oz including 2 Blues and a Tiger. Stuart Roscoe, Falkirk, 5 for 14lb 8oz including 2 Blues and a Green, Ricky Goodwin, Larbert, 4 Blues for 15lb, Davy Quinn, Dunfermline, 4 for 14lb 4oz including 3 Blues, biggest one at 4lb and Les Cooper, Dunblane, 4 for 10lb 12oz including a Tiger.
