5. SWANSWATER (Stirling) The overcast showery weather that replaced the frost at the start of the week suited the fish well and there was some great sport on offer all week. Early in the week, as the water temperature rose, the fish were to be found up the roadside and in front of the island. As things settled down midweek they were being taken all round the main pond with the far bay, boat jetty and island being the favourite spots. On Sunday, despite the return of the frost, the fish had moved back to the roadside and the channel in front of the island and anglers were having a lot of success in these areas. No matter which part of the main pond the fish were favouring, they were sitting between 2 and 5 feet down all week and being taken on a variety of flies, with Dancer, Fritz, Cat’s Whisker, Green Pea, Tadpole, Bloodworm and Buzzer being the favourite patterns. A nice selection of different coloured varieties are still being taken with some superb Blues featuring in the catch returns.Keith Muckersie, Peebles, 5 for 15lb 12oz including 4 Blues, plus 5 caught and returned, Robert Park, Lennoxtown, 5 for 14lb 12oz including 2 Blues, Willie Nyguist, Stirling 5 for 14lb 8oz including a Blue, John Mooney, Queenzieburn, 4 for 12lb including a Green and a Blue, plus 5 caught and released and Andy Brown, Dunfermline, 3 for 12lb including 4lb 12oz Rainbow and a Blue.
