Neil Williams from Busby had 1 fish for 3lbs 12oz on a Dry and Brian Whicher, Surrey, 2 for 7lbs 8oz on a Montana.
4. MARKLE (East Lothian) It was a week of the ‘big fish’ with plenty of double figure specimens featuring in the baskets. The heaviest at 15lbs fell to a Cat’s Whisker fished by Steve Rodgers from Edinburgh, John Daly, Edinburgh, had one at 14lbs on a Rabbit in his bag of 5 and Bruce Hunter from Edinburgh used a Damsel to catch 12 with the heaviest at 14lbs.

5. SWANSWATER (Stirling) The changeable weather during the week did not seem to disrupt the fishing and there was some great sport this week. The torrential rain on Tuesday afternoon coloured the water and raised the level but it also seemed to chase the big Tigers out of the burn area. The water soon cleared and the level dropped again and fishing conditions were excellent for the rest of the week. Five big Tigers were landed, including a new record for the Fishery at 9lb 5oz. They were taken in different locations round the pond including the island, dam and from the boat. In general the fish are still in the top 2 to 3 feet of the water and are still looking for a fairly fast retrieve. Many anglers are reporting losing fish or being broken by some of the big fish that have been seen cruising round the pond. Dry flies were not so successful this week, with wets, nymphs and small lures fished just under the surface the best tactic. Favourite patterns included Cat’s Whisker, Dancer, Damsel, Cormorant, Diawl Bach, Buzzer, Viva, Montana and Kate McLaren. The Fishery closing time is now 6.30pm
William Mair, Falkirk, 9lb 5oz Tiger – a new Fishery Record, Danny Doherty, Denny, 3 for 14lb 8oz including 8lb 15oz Tiger, Alex Knox, Glasgow, 8lb Tiger, James McMillan, Glasgow, 6lb 12oz Blue, Robert Smith, Falkirk, 3 for 10lb 8oz including 6lb 8oz Tiger and Ryan Jamieson, Denny, 5lb 8oz Tiger.
