ORCHILL TROUT FISHERY
(Braco) The water has cooled down but the very changeable weather
also dictates the depth the fish are taking on and that is varying
from surface drives down to deep fished lures. S Shreter from Doune
had 2 fish for 11lbs – best a cracker of 9lbs on a Damsel, K Lacey
(Perth) 3 fish for 9lbs on a Green Damsel, John Score (Alloa) 3 fish
for 9lbs 8oz on an Ally and I Stewart from Comrie used Buzzers to bag
a brace weighing 6lbs 8oz. William Docherty from Alloa caught 2 fish
for 7lbs on an Okey Dokey, J Kennedy (Dunfermline) 2 fish for 6lbs on
a Gold Humungus, Tony Jessie (Dundee) 4 fish for 10lbs 12oz on a

Green Bugs. Jim Gray from Denny had 3 fish for 9lbs on Nymphs and
Kong from Crieff took a couple weighing 6lbs 8oz on a Yellow Dancer.
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
Club from Tillicoultry had 10 fish for 36lbs 8oz with A Beverage
having the top bag with 3 fish for 12lbs - best fish 6lbs on a
Bloodworm.On Sunday, Alexander Buses had 21 fish for 53lbs 8oz -

FORBES OF
KINGENNIE
(Broughty Ferry) With the weather being more settled and temperatures
starting to fall we are looking forward to some excellent days on the
water. Please note that on Sunday 29 September we host Rosyth Civil
Service Club and the Boathouse and Burnside Pools will be CLOSED
until around 1600hrs.
With
very clear water conditions the best catches on the Boathouse
Pool have
been on relatively small patterns i.e. Buzzers, Dries and Diawl
Bachs. Bob Anderson caught 3 rainbows for 7lbs 6ozs and Mr Hogg
returned a fine rainbow of 11lbs amongst his catch of 5 fish. The
Burnside Pool
has seen plenty of surface activity and some good catches on dry fly
patterns and buzzers. Mr Lafferty caught 4 fish for 10lbs, Grant
Burnett returned 9 fish and Ken Jones released 8 including a nice
solid rainbow of 8lbs. Nick Soave enjoyed two excellent sessions on
the Bankside
Pool taking
5 fish for a total of 10lbs, followed by 4 fish for 17lbs including
rainbows of 6lbs 8oz and 6lbs 4oz and on the catch and release side
Peter Thompson returned 7 fish in a morning session. The Woodside
Pool has fished steady with the usual Powerbait being the fish’s
downfall.
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.
4.
MARKLE
(East Lothian) Bruce Hunter from Edinburgh had three visits last week
catching 11 fish in total including specimens of 8lbs, 7lbs 4oz and
another at 8lbs on Bloodworm and lures. John Daly from Edinburgh had
a couple of outings taking 9 on the Yellow Dancer, Davy Smith
(Dunbar) 2 on a Black & Green Rabbit – best 5lbs, Davy Bullen
(Edinburgh( 5 on the Blob, Bob Sleight (Edinburgh) 2 and returned a
further two 6lb fish whilst John Thomson from Edinburgh had 3 on
Buzzers – heaviest 8lbs 4oz.
5.
SWANSWATER
(Stirling)
The continued drop in water
temperature at the start of the week led to some really good fishing
with lots of tigers and browns once again featuring in the catch
returns. it was a fairly quiet week angler numbers wise but those
heading out early on in the week were rewarded with some good sport,
with the majority of the fish being caught in the top 3 feet of
water. Those venturing out in the nicer weather on Friday also had a
lot of success but by Saturday the bright sun and slight rise in
water temperature meant the fish had gone deeper and were harder to
tempt. The fish are widespread in Swanswater with no areas appearing
to hold more fish than others. Best fly patterns were Dancer, Cat,
Montana, Pheasant Tail, buzzer and Stalking bug. Maggots were the
most successful on the bait pond, with lots of different species
featuring highly in the catch returns.
Best
bags on the fly included Alex Wilkie, Glasgow, 5 for 16lb 4oz
including a Gold a Blue and 2 Browns, Donald McMurchie, Fallin, 4 for
16lb 12oz including 3 Golds, biggest 5lb 12oz and 5lb 4oz, Frank

6.

(Milton of Campsie) The mixed weather at present is seeing the
catches coming from all sorts of tactics with some guys doing really
well on the surface with the likes of very small Grunters whilst
others are getting them that bit deeper on bigger offerings. As usual
