ORCHILL TROUT FISHERY
(Braco) Despite the extremely wet
conditions the water has been fishing very well with a variety of
small flies and lures about fished about 3-5 feet down. Although
angling numbers were well down those who braved cold and wet had good
sport with Ivor Campbell from Aberfoyle using a Cut Throat Cat to bad
two for 9lbs, W Crawford (Fauldhouse) 4 fish for 12lbs 12oz on a Pink
App and Hector Wilson from Bannockburn took 3 for 8lbs on a Cut
Throat Cat.
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.

5.
SWANSWATER
(Stirling)
It was a very wet and, at times, windy week which turned colder as it
went on. Water temperature dropped from 6.5oC to 5oC and although
the heavy rain midweek caused some coloured water, it cleared quickly
and was back to excellent clarity by Thursday. Most of the fish
were landed either from the island or from the area behind the
islands. In general, they were between 3 and 5 feet down and were
looking for a slowly retrieved fly. Cat’s Whisker, Dancer,
Buzzer, Bloodworm Bibio and Spider were the favourite patterns.
Spaces
are still available for the Competition in aid of Strathcarron
Hospice on 27 December. Please contact the Fishery for further
information or to enter the competition.
