two boat bags that I heard yesterday were on dries in Sandy Bay and
snatchers on a slow glass from various parts. Having said that most
folk were practising for the upcoming Anglian Water Team comp so the
usual information was not being shared. Gateside Bay has been on and
off and same with Kates Brae. Some good catches recently also from
some of the Malling Shore drifts.
Pike
fly fisherman Rehman Malik had a fantastic 31lb catch (pictured left)
– first 30 on the fly from the Lake - for a while.
On
Thursday Accountancy firm Chienne and Tait from Edinburgh held a
well-attended corporate fundraiser and raised thousands for
Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance –
SCAA. Well done Chienne and Tait for
their efforts. A speaker from SCAA gave a description of the
charities work and highlighted that Scotland has only two air
ambulances compared to 45 in England, and that Scotland’s two
helicopters were in use for 30% of the time carry out routine NHS
transfers rather than in emergencies. Much sought after service I
would imagine. Continuing the the charitable theme, Wateraid fishers
raised some hundreds Cambodian Orphanages on Friday 2nd.

2017
Boat League Results.
In heat 5 of the boat league the night started off well, then the
wind changed from a west to an east and the anglers found the fishing
challenging. Top rod of the night was Bill Ramage with 13 fish. He
started at the Gravel pit then moved to Chicken Leg Bay then finally
to the cages. He was using his usual Cats whisker with black and
olive snatchers on a midge tip line. Second was local boy David
Stewart with 10 fish, he caught his fish up at the plantation using
an orange and yellow fab on the tail with a couple of cormorants up
the cast on a midge tip line. Third was Alistair Fountain with 7 fish
including a lovely 6lb Brownie, he was using black hoppers on a
floating line up at the burn mouth in cage bay. This week’s prizes;
David Stewart gets the £25 voucher from James Bayne tackle shop in
Callander and Alistair Fountain gets the bottle of whisky from Andy
Smith of Southside Decorators
