FORBES OF
KINGENNIE
(Broughty Ferry) NO
REPORT THIS WEEK
This
past week of hot weather here at Forbes of Kingennie is seeing a
change in the fishes behaviour, as the water temperatures rise they
have been a bit fussy at times but when the cloud comes over and
cools down the sport at times has been outstanding. Different ponds
have been fishing better at different times so moving around has been
essential for constant results.
The
Bankside pool has been the stand out pond these last few days with
lots of anglers having great returns in sometimes trick conditions.
The water has become very clear recently and really helped with the
returns. Buzzers have been the top method fished either under the
bung with an egg or squirmy on the point fished at 5 feet. The
washing line has also been effective when the fish are a bit higher
in the water. Dry flies have also been worth a cast at points when
they have been very active. Mr Kirk had 12 fish and 13 fish in 2
consecutive trips on fabs, buzzers and diawls bachs. His best fish
was estimated at around 12lb as well as others of 5 and 7lb. Mr Jones
had 12 on black buzzers under and indicator. Mr Birse had 13 on a
sugar cube shipman’s.
The
Burnside has also been getting very clear with lots of fish visible
on the surface cruising around. The fishing has been a little bit
slower at times but fishing very well most evenings. Again the more
natural approach has taken more fish, The washing line with wee
buzzers is the go to method. Dries are doing well in the right
conditions when they come up. Mr Westland had 21 on size 14 black
buzzers and fabs. Mr Wilson had 2 for 6lb and put back 9 fishing
diawl bachs.
The
Boathouse has been a bit coloured but on the very sunny days it has
been the best pond with huge amounts of fish taking off the surface
in the shade. Mr Leslie had a great day returning around 20 fish on
small dries and emerges. Mr Fulthorpe had a good morning landing 8 up
to 7lb on a pink fab and diawl bachs. Mr Whiteford kept his 3 fish
for 8lb and put back 6 on a damsel.
The
Woodside pool has been really busy in the nice weather with many full
bags being recorded. Green powerbait and spinners have been the top
bait of late. Over the weekend there was a total of 37 anglers landed
68 fish for weight of 115lb.

MARKLE
(East Lothian)
John Daly
from Edinburgh had 7 on Lures, Joe Beattie (Edinburgh) 7 on a Daddy,
Bruce Hunter (Edinburgh) 6 on Buzzers and C King from Edinburgh used
a white dry fly to take 8.
5.
SWANSWATER
(Stirling)
The week started calm and
mild. Extremely heavy rain on Monday evening – 30mm in 2 hours –
coloured the water for a couple of days, but it returned to excellent
clarity by midweek. Water temperature rose from 14oC to 16oC as the
week went on. From Wednesday onwards the weather became hot and
sunny and there were more thunderstorms at the end of the week.
Some fish were deep, but most were to be found around 2 to 4 feet
down. An intermediate line with a fast or jerky retrieve was the
best tactic and the most successful flies included the usual lures,
small nymphs and wet flies such as Pennell, Spider and Kate McLaren.
On
one of the hottest days of the year to date, the Fishery had a visit
from a Greenlandic angler and his fishing idol, Paul Young. The
visit was set up by Craig Mathieson of the Polar Academy and a very
enjoyable day was had by our Greenlandic visitors with the appearance
of Paul Young a much-appreciated surprise for them.
Despite
the hot, sunny conditions, plenty of fish were landed this week with
some of the best bags including Robert Watt, Glasgow, 5 for 17lb
including 4lb 12oz Tiger and 2 Browns, Gary Stewart, Glasgow, 4 for
16lb 2oz including 5lb 2oz Gold and a Blue, Ian Whitfield Jnr, Denny,
