Issued by Jim Boyd on behalf of the following fisheries on Monday 14 November 2016. The report is for the week ending Sunday, 13 November 2016.
1. FRANDY (Glendevon). The fishery is now closed for the 2016 season.
2. FORBES OF KINGENNIE (Broughty Ferry) There has been a real mixture of all types of weather at Kingennie this week, and that has been reflected in the returns. Overall it has been a very positive week, which has seen water-levels rise to almost perfect conditions, although clarity has been struggling occasionally. The Boathouse Pool has again fished well with most anglers catching decent numbers. Mr. Fleming took four fish for 13lbs and returned a further eleven – mainly on a Yellow Dancer. Mr. Purvis also did well taking four fish for 12lbs 8oz and returning six. The Diawl Bach worked the magic for Mr. McHaddie who returned 18 fish on a catch/release option, whilst Mr. Riddell returned 15. Methods and patterns were very varied and the best results were obtained by those who changed and adapted to the altering conditions. On the Burnside Pool there has been substantial surface activity which several anglers used to full advantage. Mr. Rutherford released an impressive twenty-one fish; Mr. Low wasn’t far behind with sixteen; Ken Jones had fifteen and Mr. Sutherland took two fish for 4lbs 12oz and released at least another dozen. Anything from lures, through Squirmies and Cat Bugs to Buzzers and Dries has all worked at some stage. Powerbait and spinners have again ruled on the Woodside Pool (any legal method) with most anglers catching. The Harris party took six rainbows for a total weight of 11lbs and the Laings had six for 10lbs 12oz.
Repairs to the Bankside Pool have been completed, together with some substantial excavations. Water-levels are now perfect and the silt is beginning to fine out. Restocking will be carried out within the next couple of weeks with a view to reopening around Saturday 18 December.
3. MARKLE (East Lothian) Jackie Hay from Haddington had 4 on lures with his best tipping the scales at 6lbs 8oz, Bruce Hunter, Edinburgh,11 on Bloodworm, Joe Beattie, Edinburgh, 7 on a Black Rabbit, Mick Mulgrew, Danderhall, 7 on Bloodworm and George Boag from Edinburgh had 5 on Bloodworm. Jim Anderson from Portobello had 6 on a Bloodworm, Dave Smith, Dunbar, 3 on a Black & Green Nomad, Gordon Dagg, Pathead, 5 on Bloodworm and the Disabled International fundraiser saw 139 fish caught and released with the winner being George Bell with 12 fish.
4. ORCHILL LOCH (Braco) It has been a very changeable week with the fish still taking from just under the surface to about 3 feet down on a wide variety of colours. On Sunday the Alloa Club caught 28 fish for 81lbs 4oz with Jim Harper taking the heaviest bag with 4 fish for 14lbs 4oz on an Orange Rabbit. Nigel Barnes from Perth had 4 for 17lbs including 2 at 5lbs 8oz each on an Orange Fab, Jake Munroe, Perth, 2 for 13lbs 8oz – best 8lbs on a Cut Throat Cat, Jim Linton, Moodiesburn, 4 for 12lbs on a Pink Blob and J Henrie from Cumbernauld used a Diawl Bach to nab 3 for 10lbs – best 5lbs. B. Stewart from Falkirk caught 2 for 8lbs 8oz on a Green & White Nymph, Graham King, Almondbank, 2 for 7lbs 4oz on an Orange Blob, Lyne Stevenson, Dunfermline, 3 for 13lbs – best 7lbs 8oz on a Damsel and Hector Wilson from Bannockburn had 3 for 9lbs – best 5lbs on an Ally McCoist. John Stevenson from St Andrews caught 3 for 9lbs 4oz on a Black Lure, Lee Reddington from Ballingry had 3 for 8lbs on an Olive Nymph, James Dowds, Crieff, 1 fish for 5lbs 12oz on an Orange Blob and I Campbell from Aberfoyle took 2 fish for 6lbs 4oz on a Yellow Dancer.
5. SWANSWATER (Stirling) All three ponds continue to fish extremely well with the fish still very active. The snow and frost midweek cooled the water temperature down to 3.5oC but it was back up to 6oC by the weekend. For most of the week the fish were all over the main pond with the bank from the dam to the boats the most productive at the start of the week. As the temperature rose towards the end of the week, the fish were also to be found moving up and down the channel with the island, roadside and far bay the best areas. A wide variety of tactics was successful with one or two fish taking dries on the surface and others taking 6 feet down. Buzzers, fished static, were taking fish, as were lures stripped back as fast as possible. Wet flies and nymphs fished with a moderated retrieve also attracted fish at certain times.The Goldies are still being landed in large numbers and are giving anglers a lot of sport as they are very visible in the clear water. The Fishery is currently open every day from 8.00am to 4.30pm
Alec Peachey, Hamilton, 3 for 13lb including 7lb 8oz Rainbow and a Gold, plus a Brown returned, Ian Whitelaw, Dunipace, 5 for 14lb 12oz including 2 Blues and 2 Golds, plus 4 C&R, Alan Brand, Edinburgh, 5 for 14lb including a Gold, plus a Brown returned, Danny Doherty, Denny, 5 for 12lb including 2 Gold and a Blue and Frank Barr, Falkirk, 4 for 12lb 8oz including 5lb Rainbow and a Gold, plus 3 returned including 2 Browns. Frank Turner, Alloa, 4 for 12lb 12oz including 3 Golds, Davy Thomson, Alva, 4 for 12lb 8oz including a Blue and a Gold plus 1 C&R, Allan Whitton, Stirling, 4 for 11lb 12oz including 2 Gold, Alex Knox, Glasgow, 3 for 11lb 8oz including 2 Golds and Cameron Brown, Stirling, 3 for 10lb 12oz including 2 Golds, bigger one at 4lb 12oz, plus 2 C&R.
