James Bayne Fishing Tackle in Callander |
Lake of Menteith 15/5/18
Temperature at 6ft 13.5C

ITS
BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE HAVE HAD CLARITY THIS GOOD – I almost ran
out of measuring rope.!!!! Lots of zooplankton in the water column.
The buzzer fishing has really kicked off this week with straight
lining or washing line methods working well in the South East Basin
and the Butts. Good catches are also being reported from the Malling
shore (aka Roman Bay). Earlier in the week the dancer or damsel was
the fly of choice as the fish were fry bashing a large shoal of roach
in Hotel Bay.
