Lake of Menteith 8th

6ft Water Temperature 18C , Clarity (Secchi disc) 2.6m.

Temperature has risen 3 degrees C in the last week and clarity remains good. Best areas remain the same (western
drifts and northern drifts), particularly Gateside Bay, Stable point and Stable Point Crannog. Reports of fish in the
Kates Brae and Lochend area have also been received. Successful tactics have been varied; boobies in combination
with smaller flies or dries, may be worth a try. The “in the green house” feel to the weather of the last few days is
captured in the shot below by Paul Barr of Strathblane.

Due to cancellations there are 4 boats available on Saturday and Sunday.
