Lake of Menteith 4th July 2017
Water Temperature – 15C, Clarity (Secchi disc) 3m.
We
are increasing our fleet by 2 boats to 33 available per day from
mid-July. As a consequence the boat availability page is showing less
“fulls” than usual!
Some
great dry fly fishing at the moment in the sheltered areas
especially. Along the rope in Gateside Bay, Stable Point and Reedy
Point have all been mentioned in dispatches. Top fly: Yellow owl.
Top
tips received this week from anglers on the beach –you know who you
are.
“If
there is a wave 2 or 3 dries. If it is flat calm 2 dries and a buzzer
– to sink the nylon”
“Fish
are better at looking up than looking down – so start off with a
floater.”

Stuart
Harrison from Ayrshire had a great day on dries with 19 fish
including 3 over 5lbs (including this one pictured right).
Scottish Club
Championships Heat 9. 1st July.
– report by Kenny Miller. Of the ten clubs competing, 2 were
previous winners . Briefing was done by Murray Hunter and there
was the usual rush for seat straps and lifejackets. Conditions
were choppy, but within 40 minutes wind had settled and looking good.
Most boats headed to top of the wind at Malling shore,
Plantation and west side Gateside Bay (Cages). On checking the
boats it was seen that trout were being caught in Gateside Bay on the
drift to Portend Burn. The lee side of Arnmach Point and
Inchmahome island also saw anglers covering rising trout., mostly to
dry fly, but washing line tactics of booby or fab on point with
buzzers, nymphs, cormorants or diawl bachs between was also
working. Congratulations to Connor Campbell of Kinross Ac who
netted 14 trout to his own rod. By end of the night the 90 trout had
been caught with 46 being released by 30 anglers.
