5. SWANSWATER (Stirling) With the water temperature rising a little the Tigers and bigger Rainbows are becoming more active and there were some really excellent bags landed. The fish have been moving about the pond with the Tigers and Browns generally in the area around the bridge and the Rainbows and Blues to be found upwind.The water remained clear all week and conditions were very good. Most of the fish were caught in the top 3 feet of the water with Tigers and Browns being taken nearer the surface. Browns were taking dries off the surface or small wets just under. A moderate retrieve was working well and fish were actively following flies.Anglers fishing Buzzers and Bloodworm were also having some success, but only if fished near the surface. Favourite patterns included Hopper, CDC, Yellow Owl, Black Beetle, Kate McLaren, Buzzer, Damsel, Dancer, Cat’s Whisker, and Ally McCoist. The Fishery is now open 8.00am to 8.30pm every day.
