FORBES
OF KINGENNIE
(Broughty Ferry) This change in weather turning much colder has
really helped the fishing, the lack of rain has seen the Boathouse
turn gin clear and the Burnside getting better by the day with around
2 feet of visibility now and the other ponds really improving as
well. This has made a welcome change from the dirty water of the last
couple of weeks. In the Boathouse
the bung has yet again been the best method with a mix of patterns
working but small Black Buzzers down to a size 16 have caught fish
consistently when lures have been a bit hit and miss. Mr Barlow had
16 fish on Black &Green Buzzers including a fish estimated at
around 8lbs. Father and son Hector and Gary Connell did well landing
15 fish between them on Blobs and Buzzers with a fish over 10lb to
each of them. Mr Johnston had 2 for 9lb and put back another 4. On
the Burnside
there has
been several big fish out over the last week with Mr Peters taking a
fish of 11lb 4oz on a Hot Head Damsel, “Jim” also took a fish of
11lb 4oz off the same peg the next day on a Cormorant and Mr Sheppard
returned 10 fish including fish estimated at 8lb and 10lb on Buzzers
and Blobs. Mr White had 3 fish on a white lure including one
estimated over 10lb. The Bankside
has had some issues with ice this last week and as a result has had
very few anglers on it. Mr Soave fished in the ice free area and
landed kept 2 fish for 5lb on a Black and Green lure. The Woodside
has seen the fish very well spread over and catches have been very
unpredictable but in the dirty water Powerbait has been best fished
quite deep down has been best. Mr Murray had 2 fish for 3lb, Mr
Wilson had 2 fish for 3lb and Mr Dawkins had 1 for 2lb.
There
are still spaces left for the Scottish Stillwater International team
qualifiers on the 27th of March. People looking for more information

4.
MARKLE
(East Lothian) It was a quiet week once again with the inclement
weather keeping the angler numbers down but Neil Robertson from
Edinburgh did well with 9 on Blobs and Buzzers, Ken Morrison,
Edinburgh, 4 on a Bloodworm Chris McKenna, Dalkeith, 7 on Cormorants
and John Daly from Edinburgh used various lures to take 7. Jimmy
Watters from Dalkeith had 3 on a Cat’s Whisker and Mick Mulgrew,
Danderhall, managed 6 on Buzzers.
5.
SWANSWATER
(Stirling)
Winter arrived at Swanswater this week with snow falling from
Wednesday evening onwards and temperatures barely above 0oC even
during the day in the latter part of the week. The aerators and an
overnight breeze kept all the ponds virtually ice free and some good
fishing was enjoyed despite the cold. The fish were slightly deeper
than they have been for the last few weeks, and were to be found
behind the islands and in the channel in front of the island. The
boats were also hitting fish with the two biggest fish of the week, a
rainbow and a tiger at 5lb 12oz, both taken from boats. Favourite
patterns included the usual suspects – Dancer, Cat’s Whisker,
Hot-head Damsel, Diawl Bach, Cormorant and Buzzers – with a slower
retrieve being needed as the fish were not following and chasing as
much as previously. The Fishery is still open every day from 8.00am
to 4.00pm.
