3. FORBES OF KINGENNIE (Broughty Ferry) NO REPORT THIS WEEK
4. MARKLE (East Lothian) NO REPORT THIS WEEK
5. SWANSWATER (Stirling) The week started windy and wet as Storm Brendan moved across the country and few anglers ventured out in the dreadful conditions. There was a cold wind all week and the water temperature dropped from 6oC to 4oC. Despite the heavy rain the water remained clear and fish could be seen moving around 2 feet down. The majority were caught slightly deeper, about 3-4 feet down, with the area from the boat jetty along to the far bay the favourite spot. The usual lures, Cat’s Whisker, Dancer, Damsel, were the most popular patterns although some anglers were having a good deal of success with wet flies such as Black and Peacock Spider and Bibio. Buzzers were also taking fish especially with a slow retrieve. The Fishery is open every day from 8.00am to 4.00pm.
Andy Young, Inveraray, 4 for 14lb including 5lb Rainbow, Danny Doherty, Denny, 5 for 15lb 8oz including 4 Golds, plus a Brown C&R, Rab Cooper, Dunfermline, 4 Golds for 10lb from the Meadow Pond, Henry Thompson, High Valleyfield, 3 for 12lb including a Gold and Robert McColl, 3 for 8lb 8oz.
