Lake Blog 17/05/17
Secchi
disk Clarity 2.9m ; Water Temperature at 6ft 14C.
Some
phenominal Buzzer fishing over the past wee while and some amazing
totals (see national result and Boat League Result) – particularly
in the Eastern Basin from the Butts to Lochend – with the biggest
fish congregations being found at Lochend and Kate’s Brae. Also
good numbers of fish to be found in the Rookery Area. A note for
competition anglers re the Fario Bung is that the eye may need turned
down a little to comply with current size limits in some comps.
Snatchers and lures have also been working well. Last night reports
were of an amazing rise on the Tuesday Evening but the fish were very
tricky.
In
the second heat of the Scottish
Club Championship 12 teams, 36 anglers in all, landed
133 trout. Top team were Roscobie (Ron Gray, George gall and Scott
MacGregor) with 28 fish, 2nd top were Scottish Police
Recreation Association East with 19 fish and 3rd were
Future AC with 19 fish. Top 3 anglers were Jimmy McBride, George
Gall, Ron Gray, and Calum Stephen. Best tactic buzzers, snatchers or
lures at Lochend. For more detail visit

In Heat 6 of the National
Trout Fly Fishing Championship 57 anglers landed 160
trout for 382lbs and returned a further 358 fish giving a rod average
of 9 fish. Top rod on the day was Derek Hesset of Gateside FF with 21
fish on buzzers and a bung at Lochend. Second was his clubmate Greg
McLaren with 20 in the same areas using the same method.Third was
Stuart Marklow (2015 champion) with 19 fish – on buzzers and a fab.
The
Boat League
sponsored by Baynes Tackle and Southside Decorators was won by Les
Grant with 16 fish at Arnmach Point/Sandy Bay – for a change on
yellow dancers, cormorants and a sink tip. Not bad for 4hrs.
