(Braco) Last Sunday the Clackmannan Masons had a good charity day in
support of Strathcarron Hospice Charity taking 39 fish for 120lbs
with G Watson taking the winning basket with 4 fish for 13lbs. The
water is a lot cooler now with the fish feeding well on anything from

Because
there is so much natural feeding in the water right now the fish are
being attracted by bright colours so flies and lures incorporating
bright green, red, yellow and orange are all doing well. The Eagle

having the top bag with 3 fish for 12lbs - best fish 6lbs on a

FORBES OF
KINGENNIE
(Broughty Ferry) There have been some good catches recorded on the
Boathouse
Pool this
week. Chris Skivington returned 17 fish whilst Messrs. Nicoll and
Deveney released 16 fish each. With good water clarity it has been
mainly Buzzers and Dries which have scored best.
On
the Burnside
Pool Alan
Thomson enjoyed a couple of excellent afternoon sessions returning 10
fish including a magnificent rainbow weighing 13lbs 8ozs and another
at 11lbs. Jock Leslie also had a couple of productive sessions
releasing 21 fish including a stunning rainbow of 16lbs. Mr. Carlyle
released 10 fish and Ian Barlow returned 6 including another
beautifully conditioned rainbow of 13lbs. Most were taken on various
dry fly patterns like the Sugar Cubed Shipman, Yellow Owl, small
Sedges and Olive and Red/Black Buzzers.
The
Bankside Pool
has been slightly moody but some excellent catches have still been
made. Kinross AC members returned 35 fish on Saturday, with the best
being a superb rainbow weighing 14lbs 6ozs.
Powerbait
fished beneath a float and spinning have produced the best results in
the Woodside
Pool (any
legal method). On Friday 20 fish were taken for a combined weight of
48lbs and on Saturday 20 fish were caught for a total of 37lbs 4oz.
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)
With the
weather cooling down the fishing has picked up and some good catches
have been recorded including A Jones from Edinburgh who had 2 for
8lbs on a PTN, A Scott (Edinburgh) 2 for 8lbs on a Fab and George
Horne from Edinburgh used a Yellow Dancer to bag 2 for 8lbs 8oz.
George Liddle from Dunbar had 2 for 5lbs on a Nomad, Frank McBain
(Edinburgh) 2 for 5lbs on a PTN and on the catch and release front A
Scott (Edinburgh) had 6 on Buzzers and Bruce Hunter from Edinburgh
had 6 on a lure.
5.
SWANSWATER
(Stirling)
As the water continues to cool
down, some of the bigger fish are beginning to reappear. The Browns
and Tigers are also becoming much more active and many are figuring
in the catch returns. The water clarity remains excellent although
it did colour a little on Tuesday after the heavy rain on Monday.
On most days the fish were to be found higher in the water as the day
went on and were taking a selection of dry flies with Yellow Owl
being the most successful pattern. Wet flies including Black Pennell
and Spider were also working well as were nymphs such as Montana,
Hare’s Ear, Damsel and Diawl Bach. The usual lures – Dancer,
Cat’s Whisker and Ally McCoist – were also taking fish. On the
bait pond Maggots and Red Power Bait took the majority of fish. The
Fishery is now open Monday to Wednesday 8.00am to 6.00pm, Thursday to
Sunday 8.00am to 7.30pm
