Fishing report by Jim Boyd

ANGLING PRESS SERVICES

Issued by Jim Boyd on behalf of the following fisheries on Monday 21November 2016. The report is for the week ending Sunday, 20 November 2016.

1. FRANDY (Glendevon). The fishery is now closed for the 2016 season.

2. FORBES OF KINGENNIE (Broughty Ferry) NO REPORT THIS WEEK

3. MARKLE (East Lothian) NO REPORT THIS WEEK  

4. ORCHILL LOCH (Braco) It has been another changeable week with some lovely days when the sun came out but today stayed cold and damp all day. The fish have still been taking just under the surface to about 2-3 feet down. White, white and green, orange and pink along with some small nymphs have been doing well.
On Saturday the Ferry FFC had a good morning taking 17 fish for 53lbs 8oz with Andy Brown taking the heaviest basket with 3 fish for 11lbs 12oz and Andy Laurie was close behind  with 3 for 11lbs 4oz taken mostly on white lures. William Petrie from Spittalfield had a brace for 12lbs – best 10lbs on a Back & Green Fritz, Hector Wilson, Bannockburn, 3 for 10lbs on a Black & Silver, Andy Airnes,       Clackmannan, 1 for 8lbs 4oz on an Ally McCoist, and H Sommerville from Larbert used a Pink Hot Head to bag 3 for 15lbs 8oz. John Brindley from Liverpool took 3 for 8lbs on an Ally and an Orange Fritz, Allan Mitchell, Stirling, 3 for 9lbs on a Green & Black lure, Jim Gray, Denny, 3 for 9lbs on a Copper Nymph and K Learmonth from Falkirk had 3 for 8lbs on a Floating Fry. Russell McKendrick from Alva had 2 for 5lbs on an Egg Fly and Bill Moonie from Stirling used an Olive Lure to basket a nice brace weighing 9lbs 8oz.

5. SWANSWATER (Stirling) Despite sub-zero temperatures overnight at the end of the week, all the ponds remain open, ice-free and are fishing very well.   The heavy rain midweek only slightly coloured the water and it cleared very quickly so conditions going into the new week are excellent.   The fish continue to be well spread out and at a variety of depths, with quite a number being taken up the channel between the front of the island and the roadside.   The boats are also doing well.   The fish remain pretty active and a moderate retrieve is often the best way to attract them.   Most were taken on small lures or nymphs with Tadpole, Ace of Spades, Dancer, Cat’s Whisker, Damsel, Hare’s Ear and Buzzer being the most successful patterns.  Names are now being taken for our annual “Day After Boxing Day” Charity Competition to be held on Tuesday 27th December.   Please contact the Fishery by phone, email or Facebook for further details.
