6. SWANSWATER (Stirling) Combinations of bright, sunny days combined with

some torrential rain fall has led to very humid conditions over the past week which

has contributed to a hard weeks fishing. A large number of fish, the majority Tigers,

are still situated around and in the burn area. Bright conditions were meaning the

fish were deeper in the ponds although they were returning to about 3 to 4 feet to

feed. Some small nymphs and wets including Olive Nymph, Diawl Bach and Black

Spider, along with larger Damsel Nymphs have seen good results. During harder

periods Blob, Dancer and Cat’s Whisker have been a good alternative method. Later

in the week fish were taken on Buzzer and Ok Dokey.
