Issued by Jim Boyd on behalf of the following fisheries on Monday 09 December 2019. The report is for the week ending Sunday, 08 December 2019.
1. FRANDY (Gleneagles) THE FISHERY IS NOW CLOSED FOR THE 2019 SEASON
2. ORCHILL TROUT FISHERY (Braco) The weather was wildly mixed last week starting off on the Sunday with -8degrees and frozen and this Sunday it has seen the worst rain and wind of the winter but there have been a few anglers braving the good bits of the week. Ivor Campbell from Aberfoyle had 2 fish for 9lbs on a Yellow Dancer, Dougie Allan (Callander) 1 fish for 1lb 4oz on a Pink Snake, William Campbell (Stirling) 2 fish weighing 6lbs on a Yellow Owl and John Gillespie from Stirling used a Dunkeld to take a brace for 6lbs 4oz.Mark Dewar from Bannockburn caught 3 fish for 9lbs on a Green Pea and W Crawford (Fauldhouse) had 4 fish for 10lbs 12oz on a Pink Apps and a Black Rabbit.
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 - heaviest basket S Bennie with 4 fish 12lbs - best 4lbs 12oz on a Bright Green Buzzer, Ian Law (Paisley) 3 fish weighing 7bs 8oz on a White Fritz and Alistair Sangster from Blackford used a Damsel to take 2 for 5lbs.

and Hector Wilson from Bannockburn took 3 fish for 7lbs 8oz on an Okey Dokey.
3. FORBES OF KINGENNIE (Broughty Ferry) NO REPORT THIS WEEK
4. MARKLE (East Lothian) NO REPORT THIS WEEK
5. SWANSWATER (Stirling) Sunday saw frosty weather, a little ice on the main pond due to a broken-down aerator, but plenty of space to fish and a good number of anglers out enjoying their sport. The weather was mild and damp for the rest of week and conditions remained good. On Sunday and Monday, the fish were to be found in the far bay and the island, but as the week went on they moved further up to the channel and back of the islands. As the temperature went up, the fish also rose in the water and finished up around 2 to 3 feet below the surface. Most fish were taken on the usual lures – Cat’s Whisker, Dancer, Ally McCoist, Damsel, - with a few still being picked up on Cormorant and Bibio. The Annual Fund-Raising “Day after Boxing Day” Competition takes place on Friday 27th December 2019 starting at 9.00am. Please contact the Fishery for further details and to enter. Proceeds from the day will go to Strathcarron Hospice as usual.
