2. FORBES OF KINGENNIE (Broughty Ferry) NO REPORT THIS WEEK
3. MARKLE (East Lothian) NO REPORT THIS WEEK
4. ORCHILL LOCH (Braco) With the colder nights and some beautiful days the water has now cooled down - it had a much longer spell than most years being very warm and this of course was good for the life in the water. The fish are mainly being caught just under the surface to about 3 -4 feet especially when the sun is shining brightly.
Robert Wright from the Linden FFC had 4 fish for 14lbs on a Damsel, John Wright, Linden FFC, 4 for 12lbs 8oz on a Goldie, Gerry Rattray, Blackford, 1 at 6lbs 12oz on a Hare’s Ear, J Livsey, Cumbernauld, 2 for 6lbs on a Mini Yellow Dancer and Kevin O'Brien from Stenhousemuir used a Black Zonker to catch 4 for 12lbs 8oz. Robbie Scotland from Stirling had 3 for 8lbs on a Green Blob, Charlie McKinlay, Dunipace, 2 for 6lbs on a HH Damsel, Paul Shepherd, Bedford, 3 for 12lbs 4oz on a Damsel, E. Davidson, Perth, 2 for 6lbs 8oz on a Cat and Jack Gibb from Clackmannan had a brace for 7lbs 8oz on a HH Damsel.
5. SWANSWATER (Stirling) Although very autumnal the more settled weather has led to some excellent fishing at Swanswater this week. The start of colder nights has made fishing hard in the early mornings but the nice weather during the day has meant the crystal clear water has remained at 10 degrees, with the sun warming things significantly to see fish remaining in the top 2 feet of the water, with some even being tempted to the surface with Muddlers and Shipman’s Buzzer. Fish remain wide spread on Swanswater, with the Dam and bay past the boats doing well at the start of the week, with signs the fish were moving towards the Island and up the Channel at the weekend. Best patterns this week were Buzzer, Bibio, Snatcher, Hare’s Ear and a selection of mini lures in various colours, including Yellow Dancer, Hot Head Damsel and with anything black and green doing well at the end of the week.
Gordon Ferguson, Coatbridge, 4 for 18lb including a 8lb 13oz Rainbow and 2 golds, Lindsay Brown, Burntisland, 3 for 15lb 8oz including a 10lb 5oz Rainbow and 2 Blues, John Montague, Glasgow, 5 for 14lb 4oz including a Blue and 2 Golds and Jim Milne, Alloa, 5 for 14lb including a Blue and a Gold. Darren Hill, Alva, 5 for 13lb 4oz including 2 Blues and a Gold plus 5 caught and released, Willie martin, Stirling, 5 for 13lb, Ricky Goodwin, 4 for 12lb 12oz including a Blue and a Gold and Willie Nyguist, Stirling, 4 for 12lb including 3 Golds.

George Dobbie, Glasgow, 2 for 7lb including a Gold, Stephen Campbell, Livingston, 13 caught and released, Brian Eadie, Stirling, 10 caught and released, Frank Turner, Alloa, 9 caught and released and Paul Wilkins, 7 caught and released.
6. WOODBURN (Milton of Campsie) Once again it was a great week for hefty fish featuring in the baskets with John Shaw from Kilsyth including a cracking 10+ rainbow in his catch and release turn of 5. Mark Anderson from Kilsyth had 4 on C+R including one at 8lbs, Donald Duffy, Kirkintilloch had an 8lb blue trout, Stephen Hutton, Kirkintilloch 1 at 4lbs 8oz, Duncan Stewart, Kilsyth, 4 including one at 6lbs and Mr. Wright from Kilsyth had a tremendous brace for 15lbs – best 8lbs.
