Issued by Jim Boyd on behalf of the following fisheries on Monday 16 January 2017. The report is for the week ending Sunday, 15 January 2017.
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) NO REPORT THIS WEEK
5. SWANSWATER (Stirling) The cold, snowy weather led to a quiet week at Swanswater. Those who ventured out from Tuesday to Saturday all caught fish. The beginning and end of the week were a bit harder with the water temperature sitting at 2oC and the fish deep in the water.The aerators were on overnight on the coldest nights and managed to keep most of the ponds relatively ice free.The area around the dam was the most productive for most of the week. It was a good start to the year for regular angler, Ian Whitelaw, who landed a cracking 11lb 10oz Rainbow in his bag of 5 for 24lb. Most fish were taken on lures such as Dancer, Cat’s Whisker, Humungus and Fritz patterns, with Bloodworm, Buzzers and Damsel also taking a few.
Ian Whitelaw, Dunipace, 5 for 24lb including 11lb 10oz Rainbow, Andy Tervit, Paisley, 6lb Rainbow, Colin Clement, Tyndrum 4 for 13lb including a Blue and a Gold
Frank Barr, Falkirk, 4 for 12lb 8oz including a Gold, plus 4 C&R, Malcolm Miller, Clackmannan, 3 for 9lb 8oz plus 3 C&R and Willie Martin, Stirling, 3 for 8lb. Alan Burke, Falkirk, 3 for 8lb, Lee Currie, Bannockburn, 2 for 6lb 4oz including 4lb 4oz Gold, Les Cooper, Dunblane, 4lb 4oz Gold, Mark Reid, Livingston, caught and released 12 and Marcus Tripney, Grangemouth, caught and released 7.
6. WOODBURN (Milton of Campsie) There are still a lot of fish on top of the water for this time of the year and fish can be seen right in at side feeding on the stickle backs. Those fishing Buzzers and small lures have been well rewarded with the White and Green Rabbit taking plenty of fish. Paul Clark from Glasgow enjoyed his first visit to the fishery taking 7, Tam Hendry took 4 for 16lbs – best 7lbs, Joe Hunter, 1 for 3lbs, Jim Millar, 4 for 10lbs and Ian Gray from Bishopbriggs had a couple for 5lbs. Don Stewart 4, Stewart Ingles D Robertson 6 and B Murray 6 including 1 at 9lbs. John Shaw from Kilsyth had 10 on C+R and Ian Anderson from Cumbernauld had a great session taking 15 on C+R.
