5. SWANSWATER (Stirling) A mixed week of weather produced some mixed results at Swanswater. T-shirt weather returned for the first time in 2016 and anglers came out intent on making the most of the glorious weather. These brighter and warmer days tended to push the fish deeper and make fishing tougher. Cloud cover was the key and the more overcast days saw fish much more active and being taken in the top 3 feet again. Lures and Buzzers were the most effective, with old favourites like Yellow Dancer, Cat’s Whisker and Damsel proving the best. Small Nymphs such as PTN and Diawl Bach were effective at times and even a selection of dries saw some sport on the Millpond and Meadow Pond.
The Brown trout season started with a bang this year, with Greenock angler Henry Fulton winning a 4 hour permit for landing the first of the season, a superb 5lb 2oz specimen. Darren Hill, Alva, 5 for 20lb 4oz including a 5lb 80z Rainbow plus 4 caught and released, Joe Potts, Inchinnan, 5 for 16lb including a Brown, Jim Potts, Inchinnan, 5 for 16lb including a Blue, Donald McMurchy, Fallin, 5 for 15lb including 3 Blues, John Alcock, Balloch, 5 for 14lb 8oz including 2 Browns and Frank Turner, Alloa, 4 for 14lb 4oz including a Blue plus 2 caught and released. Frank Barr, Falkirk, 4 for 13lb plus 3 caught and released, Graeme Arthur, Stirling, 3 for 14lb 10oz including 6lb 1oz Rainbow, Joe France, Helensburgh, 3 for 11lb 12oz including 4lb 8oz Rainbow, Allan Laing, Carluke, 3 for 10lb 6oz and Mike Palmer, Gairloch, 3 for 9lb 9oz.
