Lake of Menteith 25th July 2017
Water Temperature – 18C, Clarity (Secchi disc) 3m .
Some hot and calm weather for a change with east or
northerly winds. On Monday 24th the pens were blown up to
the exclusion zone rope barrier by the light northerlies and some
great sport was had “along the rope” on dries, dries and
buzzer/nymph combo and lures. Over the weekend the warm water made
things a little trickier than usual especially when air temperatures
dropped during heavy showers but again there were still some anglers
reporting brilliant catches on mayfly imitations like the double
humpy hares ear and on lures eg booby and red head damsel. Best areas
were Hotel Bay, Reedy Point Rookery, Gateside Dog Isle, Malling Shore
and Sandy Bay.
Jim Crawford from Ayrshire was out on Sunday 23rd
and sent in this photo. A video by Paul Barr of the free swimming
big bows in the vicinity of the fish pens can be seen on our Facebook
