Sedge Muddler, Dabblers, Sedgehogs and the Cormorant whilst all areas of the loch

continue to fish well.

2. FORBES OF KINGENNIE (Broughty Ferry) The fishing this week at Kingennie

has been very good with most of the sport happening on the surface. The Bankside

Pond has fished best of all with good hatches coming off through the day with small

CDC’s, Shipman’s Buzzer, Sugar Cube Shipman’s and various other dries have

all taken their share of the fish. When things have slowed down on the surface

mini lures fished on a sink tip have also took a lot of fish. On the Boathouse it has

been mainly lures on intermediate lines with Hot Head Damsels, Gold Head Skunks

and the Cat’s Whiskers all doing the damage. The Burnside Pond has seen good

rises during the evening but is fishing very well to Buzzers during the day. On the

Woodside Pond the fish have been sitting fairly deep so ledgered Power Bait has

worked very well. Spinning with small Mepps has also been a good method but fairly

light line is needed or fish will follow but turn away at the last

3. MARKLE (East Lothian) The best fish taken off last week was a fine 11lb rainbow

caught on a Damsel Nymph by John Russell from Dalkeith and the best brace was

caught by C Kronanbach from Tranent who used a Black & Green Rabbit to weigh

in at 16lbs – best fish 8lbs 8oz. Bruce Hunter from Tranent had one at 7lbs 8oz on

a Black Lure, Peter Craig, Dunbar, one for 9lbs on a Rabbit, B Bigham, Edinburgh,

3 for 13lbs on a WSW (Walter’s Secret Weapon) and B Cummings, Edinburgh, 3 for

12lbs on a Yellow Dancer. The Norham & Ladykirk AC had a good outing taking 18

fish for 42lbs with the top bag going to John King who had 3 fish for 17lbs on a Red

Rabbit. Last but not least Chick Stewart from Dalkeith used a Blae and Black to take

a nice fish weighing 7lbs 8oz.

4. MORTON LOCH (Livingston) NO REPORT THIS WEEK

5. ORCHILL LOCH (Braco) The water has been fishing very well with dries, small

nymphs and of course a wide variety of other flies. There has been some great sport

Bloodworm and D Douglas, Dollar, 1 for 4lbs on a Zulu.

6. SWANSWATER (Stirling) There was some excellent sport at Swanswater this

week with conditions improving towards the end of the week as the temperature

rose slightly, although the return of the cold east wind on Sunday slowed things a

bit. As the week went on the fish were beginning to come up in the water and were

being taken in the top foot by the weekend. Favourite patterns still include a lot of

small lures, but more nymphs and wets were taking fish, and a few anglers were also

having success with dry flies.

Cat’s Whisker, hot-head Damsel, PTN, Blob, Spider, Diawl Bach, Bibio, White

Moth and Hopper.
