Issued by Jim Boyd on behalf of the following fisheries on Monday 05 October 2015. The report is for the week ending Sunday, 04 October 2015.
1.

The top taking flies include the Bibio Hopper, Cat’s Whisker, Sedge Muddler, Kate McLaren, Pearly Invicta and the Damsel whilst all areas of the loch continue to fish well.
2. FORBES OF KINGENNIE (Broughty Ferry) The weather seems to of finally turned colder and more autumnal at Kingennie but the past week has been great with warm days and light winds making the fishing really good.
The Burnside has been fishing the best over this past week with some anglers really cracking what the fish want and getting there rewards. The top method by far has been Black Buzzers either fished straight lined or when the fish have been up in the water fished on a washing line. Dry flies have also taken fish at times as well as Hot Head Damsels catching most of the fish on lures. Mr Barlow had 26 in a session on Black and Red Buzzers, Mr Westland had 19 including one at 9lb on Buzzers and Shipman’s, Mr Bruce had 17 with one at 8lb on Buzzers, Mr Wood returned 21 again on Black Buzzers and Mr Birse put back 23 on a Hot Head Damsel. The Boathouse has been busy this week with a run of big fish getting caught also. Lures seem to of been the most popular method with Yellow Dancers and Damsels doing well, Buzzers have also been effective fished under the bung as have Squirmy Worms. The biggest fish of the week was taken by Stuart Sampson with a blue trout weighing 13lb 3oz taken on a Yellow Dancer. Mr Duncan returned 2 big fish in one night with a rainbow of around 8lb on a Squirmy and a blue of around 12lb on a Dry Daddy. Mr Miller had 2 for 10lb 11oz with the biggest weighing 8lb caught on a Montana. Young local angler Logan Cumming also had a big fish with a blue trout estimated at around 11.5 lb taken on a Sparkly Damsel. The water in the Bankside pool is still quite low and hasn’t had many people fishing it but again the anglers who did fish have had some good results. Mr Sheriff had 18 returned on Nymphs and Mr Soave had 7 fish for 16lb 5oz on Shuttlecocks. The Woodside has still been fishing really well with float fished worms and Powerbait still doing very well. Over the weekend 43 anglers landed 79 fish for 126lb.
3. ORCHILL LOCH (Braco) The fishing has been very good, the water is very clear so the anglers are having great fun watching the fish take the many different flies which have been catching ranging from dries to lures of all kinds.
Hector Wilson from Bannockburn had 3 fish for 12lbs 12oz – best 6lbs 8oz on a Rhubarb and Custard, Alec Fitzsimmons, Fintry, 2 for 11lbs – best 6lbs 8oz on a Daddy, Dave Thompson, Newcastle, 2 for 9lbs 8oz – best 6lbs 8oz on a Bloodworm, J Selfridge, Kirkcaldy, 3 for 13lbs 8oz – best 7lbs on a Hare’s Ear and Brian Harper from Tullibody took 2 fish for 8lbs 4oz – best a 5lbs 8oz blue trout on a Loch Ordie. Alistair Lennox, Cupar, used a Yellow Owl to catch a nice 4lb fish, Colin Clements,Tyndrum, 4 for 14lbs on a Diawl Bach, John Graham, Airdrie, 3 for 14lbs on a Diawl Bach, Eaddie Ralston, Bishopton, 4 for 13lbs on a Yellow Dancer and Peter McGrath from Perth took 2 for 7lbs on a Diawl Bach. Jim Christie from Forrestmill had a nice trout of 6lbs 4oz on a Daddy and Matt Ritchie from Perth caught a brace weighing 9lbs 12oz on Buzzers,
4. MARKLE (East Lothian) Was a couple of ‘biggies’ taken off last week with Sam Cameron from Lesmahagow using a Black & Breen Fitz to take the biggest at 12lbs 8oz but Robert Wise from Edinburgh wasn’t far behind with one at 12lbs on a Daddy. Martin Williamson from Tranent took 7 on Dries, Mark Reid, Edinburgh, 2 for 10lbs 8oz on an Ally, Mattie Devine, Hadston, 25 on Buzzers and Chris Harkness from Penicuik had 12 also on Buzzers. Ben Robertson from Penicuik had 12 on Buzzers, the 1314 AC from Stirling had a good outing taking 18 fish weighing 44lbs and the Mitsley AC from Durham used Hoppers and Daddies in the main to take 22 fish on catch and release.
5. SWANSWATER (Stirling) With Swanswater seeing weather more a kin to the middle of summer than the start of October, anglers enjoyed some glorious days, if a little sunny for great fishing. The bright days coupled with night time temperatures starting to drop resulted in slowly dropping water temperatures and improved fishing. The fish were mostly in the top 3 feet of the water although little was taken on the surface. Many fish were taken on nymphs and wets including Diawl Bach, Cruncher, Hare’s Ear, Kate McLaren and the Black Spider. Others were taken deeper on Tadpoles, Cormorants, Dancers and Buzzers.
