Issued by Jim Boyd on behalf of the following fisheries on Monday 27 March 2017. The report is for the week ending Sunday, 26 March 2017.
FRANDY (Glendevon). On the individual front Messrs. Pozzi & Page from Glenrothes had 5 fish for 10lbs 4oz, Mark Sturrock, (Cairneyhill) ad Stuart Strachan (Kilmarnock) 3 for 6lbs 12oz, Jim Donnelly, Tullibody, 2 for 4lbs 4oz and released 3 and Bobby Paterson from St. Ninians caught and released 4. Mark Paterson from Stirling 5 on C/R, Raymond Pirrie, Tullibody, 14 C/R, Ben McGovern, Sauchie, 3 on C/R and Andy Hunter from Alloa C/A 4.
The Bridge of Allan 76 C kept 14 fish for 30lbs and the Paisley Patters had 4 weighing in at 8lbs.
The best fishing area continues to be from the stat of the Dogleg to the Dam Wall on the south shore.
SWANSWATER (Stirling) A crazy week’s weather saw every condition possible, from cold, windy days with heavy rain showers at the start of the week, frosty mornings coupled with driving snow during the middle of the week and beautiful calm sunny warm days over the weekend. The water temperature began the week at 8 degrees before plummeting back down to 4 degrees with the cold frosty night’s midweek, leading to the fish taking their time to adjust to the changes and anglers were finding it difficult to locate feeding fish in the mornings. Once temperatures began to rise fish were feeding more freely and some were taken on wets and nymphs, including Diawl Bach and Kate McLaren, however most were taking a variety of lures including Cat, Dancer and Ally McCoist. The island remained the most productive area throughout the week, with the far bay and bridge areas holding a large number of Browns. Most fish were feeding around 3 feet down with several being tempted to the surface by dry flies. Lots of fish have been seen feeding on the surface, many of which are our fantastic Brown Trout, which are now featuring in the catch returns including many at 3lb plus! With the clocks changing and the hopefully nicer weather the fishery will now be open till 8 pm.
Tam Baillie, Kincardine, 4 for 13lb 4oz including a 7lb Rainbow, Danny Doherty, Denny, 5 for 12lb 12oz including a 3lb Brown, Frank Barr, Falkirk, 5 for 11lb 8oz, Les Cooper, Dunblane, 2 Browns for 6lb and Alan Whitton, Stirling, 4 for 10lb plus 2 caught and released. Donald McMurchy, Fallin, 4 for 9lb 12oz including a 3lb 2oz Brown, Jack Lever, Glasgow, 4 for 9lb 12oz plus 2 Browns returned, Kyle Crossan, Stirling, 4 for 9lb 8oz including a Brown, Steven Mullen and son Liam, Pitlochry, 5 for 10 lb 8oz from the small ponds and George Dobbie, Glasgow, 2 for 5lb 8oz including a Brown. John Mackie caught and released 7 and Steven Murphy, Glasgow, caught and released 21.
ORCHILL LOCH (Braco) On Saturday, the Four Waders Club from Edinburgh caught 16 fish for 45lbs 8oz with Tom Wight taking the heaviest bag of 4 fish for 14 lbs. The Falcon Club had 24 fish for 59 lbs with H McKintrie having 4 fish for 8lbs. Also doing well was Jim Linton from Moodiesburn with 4 fish for 12lbs, William Docherty, Tillicoultry, 2 for 6bs 8oz on a Cat, Joe Thain, Callander, 3 for 11lbs on a White Zonker, Jim Livingstone, Cumbernauld, 4 for 12lbs on a Yellow Dancer and Henry Laurence from Glasgow took 2 for 7lbs on Cat.
