FORBES
OF KINGENNIE
(Broughty Ferry) This past week of very heavy rain has affected the
fishing as we were not able to avoid the flood water, the levels on
all the ponds are normal but the colour of the water is now dirty in
all the ponds. There have still been anglers out when the weather has
been settled. The methods have been the same on the ponds, a floating
or slow sinking line with lures of various colours have been best.
On
the Boathouse
the biggest fish of the week fell to Mr Watson with a rainbow
estimated at around 9lb as well as another 6 caught on a Damsel. Mr
Woods had a good day keeping his 4 for 11lb on an Orange Blob. The
Burnside
has seen the fish sitting quite high in the water despite the
weather. Mr Gowans had 8 on a Damsel, Mr Simpson had 9 on a Black
Blob and Mr Jenkins had 2 for 5lb and put back 6 on a black and green
lure. The Bankside
has seen the fish holing in the first bay and the north bank, Mr
Barlow had 8 on a Squirmy Worm, Mr Young had 5 on an Orange Blob. The
Woodside
has not had many anglers on it but nearly every single person has
taken their limit. Powerbait has been the best method fished under a
float. Mr Irvine took his 4 fish for 7lb in just half an hour.

conditions but despite this a couple of big specimens were recorded.

caught on a Buzzer and Ian Ritchie from McMerry had 1 for 11lbs on a
Black Rabbit. Also doing well was Ken Morrison from Edinburgh who

SWANSWATER
(Stirling)
Storm Desmond hit the Fishery
on Friday night and Saturday and deposited a huge amount of rain
(over 4 inches) which led to a torrent running down the road from the
top pond and over the overflow! Fortunately there was no serious
damage, apart from some erosion to the road, and things quickly
settled down again on Sunday. By this morning (Monday 7th) the lade
was running clear and the water level was just about back to normal.
For those who braved what was a pretty wet and wild week, the
fishing was good with the fish to be found around 2 to 4 feet down
and well spread out round the pond. Damsel, Buzzer, Black Fritz,
Montana, Dancer and Ally McCoist were the favourite patterns and the
fish were looking for a medium to fast retrieve. The small ponds
also fished very well and offered a lot more shelter than the more
exposed areas of the top pond.
