The weather remains mild for the time of year. There was one frosty
night this week but otherwise air temperatures were well above
freezing although there was a cold wind most days. Water
temperature dropped from 6.5oC to 5oC and with no rain the water
clarity remains excellent. The fish were well spread out around the
main pond with the roadside doing well at the start of the week and
the area from the jetty round to the island the best place at the
weekend. In general, they were to be found between 3 and 5 feet down
and were taking a variety of flies including Cat’s Whisker, Dancer,
Damsel, Bloodworm, Cormorant, Woolly Bugger and Buzzer. Mice tails
were the most successful bait.5. SWANSWATER (Stirling) The weather remains mild for the time of year.
