Issued by Jim Boyd on behalf of the following fisheries on Monday 14 September 2015. The report is for the week ending Sunday, 13 September 2015.
1. FRANDY (Gleneagles) The best fishing spots last week were on the north shore from the dam wall to the Dow Burn and on the south shore from Corim Burn to the start of the Dog Leg. The best fly patterns have proved to be the Coral & Yellow Dancers, Hot Heads Damsel, Cat’s Whisker, Kate McLaren, Daddy, Cormorant and the Sedge Muddler.
On the club front The Perth Royal Golfing Society kept 5 fish weighing 12lbs 6oz, Dollar AC 28 for 70lbs 14oz, Wiremill AC 33 for 79lbs, Thistle AC 20 weighing 53lbs and released a further 3 whilst Pencaitland AC had 28 for 64lbs.

Ian Gibson & Jock McKenzie from Edinburgh bagged 6 for 16lbs 8oz, Finlay McDonald & Neil Coburn, Glasgow, 6 for 16lbs and released 6 and Dennis Murray and party from Livingston had 10 for 25lbs.
2. FORBES OF KINGENNIE (Broughty Ferry) It is starting to feel very autumnal at Kingennie with the nights really drawing in and the much cooler temperatures. The water condition is still very good in the pond with the water clarity staying quite clear. On Sunday the 13th the completion fundraiser for the Scottish Stillwater team took place, unfortunately there were a handful of no shows but the 14 anglers who competed did very well landing a total of 133 fish including 4 double figure fish. The winner on the day was the team captain Mike Cordiner with very impressive 22 fish, second went to Alan Gilbert with 21 fish, a very close finish. In total there was just over £700 raised so a big thank you to all who fished and bought raffle tickets to support the cause.
The Boathouse has been busy this past week with some big fish showing up, these include Mike Cordiner with a blue at around 9lb (returned) A. Gilbert with a rainbow around 11lb (returned) Mr. Chatterton with a blue of around 13lb (returned) and Mr Wilkins with a rainbow of around 10lb (returned) There has been a real mix of flies taking fish with Damsels, Blobs, Nymphs and Squirmies doing well. The bung has also taking a lot of fish this week. The Burnside has also seen a lot of big fish caught this week with Mr Birse, Mr Dickson, Mr Kydd, Mr Barlow and Mr Simpson all taking fish over 10 lb. Again a real mix of flies have been working, Buzzers have had their moments where they have taken a lot of fish as well as the usual lures and dries when conditions suit. Mr Wallace had a great day taking 4 fish for 13lb with the biggest a 7lb rainbow and returned another 12 on a mix of Crunchers and Daddy Long Legs. The Bankside has been quite at times but has fished well this week. The biggest fish this week was caught by Mr McGuiness with a blue estimated at around 12 to 13lb as well as another 7 returned. Buzzers have been a good bet as well as dries. The fry are still very evident and can be seen getting chased very regularly. The Woodside is very clear at the moment and they are moving around the pond a lot more. As always Powerbait under the float has been top method as well as spinning. Over the weekend there was a total of 59 rods land 98 fish for 161lb.
3. ORCHILL LOCH (Braco) It was a very varied week weather wise including some of the best experienced all year. The angling conditions have been challenging with the fish being ultra-fussy and being caught on anything from dries to large lures. On Sunday the Riverside FC had a lovely day taking 21 fish for 57lbs with Jim McKay being top rod with 4 for 12lbs.On Saturday the Northfield AC from Edinburgh had a wild wet day catching 22 fish for 68lbs with Andrew Wilson winning with 4 fish weighing 12lbs.

5. SWANSWATER (Stirling) It was a somewhat mixed week with some beautiful sunny, breezy days, and others that were dull and damp. For most of week the fish were in the top couple of feet of the water and were often looking to chase dry flies on, or small nymphs just under, the surface. At other times buzzers fished on a slow retrieve were also successful. The water remains very clear with a temperature around 12oC. The fish are still sometimes quite choosy which is normal for the time of year. Plenty are being seen showing on the surface and anglers are getting plenty offers and, although not always managing to convert them to takes, most are enjoying lots of sport. Favourite patterns included Sedge, Muddler, PTN, Hare’s Ear, Hopper, Diawl Bach, and Buzzer. From Monday 14th September the Fishery will close at 7.30pm.
