FORBES OF
KINGENNIE
(Broughty Ferry) NO
REPORT THIS WEEK
This
past week of hot weather here at Forbes of Kingennie is seeing a
change in the fishes behaviour, as the water temperatures rise they
have been a bit fussy at times but when the cloud comes over and
cools down the sport at times has been outstanding. Different ponds
have been fishing better at different times so moving around has been
essential for constant results.
The
Bankside pool has been the stand out pond these last few days with
lots of anglers having great returns in sometimes trick conditions.
The water has become very clear recently and really helped with the
returns. Buzzers have been the top method fished either under the
bung with an egg or squirmy on the point fished at 5 feet. The
washing line has also been effective when the fish are a bit higher
in the water. Dry flies have also been worth a cast at points when
they have been very active. Mr Kirk had 12 fish and 13 fish in 2
consecutive trips on fabs, buzzers and diawls bachs. His best fish
was estimated at around 12lb as well as others of 5 and 7lb. Mr Jones
had 12 on black buzzers under and indicator. Mr Birse had 13 on a
sugar cube shipman’s.
The
Burnside has also been getting very clear with lots of fish visible
on the surface cruising around. The fishing has been a little bit
slower at times but fishing very well most evenings. Again the more
natural approach has taken more fish, The washing line with wee
buzzers is the go to method. Dries are doing well in the right
conditions when they come up. Mr Westland had 21 on size 14 black
buzzers and fabs. Mr Wilson had 2 for 6lb and put back 9 fishing
diawl bachs.
The
Boathouse has been a bit coloured but on the very sunny days it has
been the best pond with huge amounts of fish taking off the surface
in the shade. Mr Leslie had a great day returning around 20 fish on
small dries and emerges. Mr Fulthorpe had a good morning landing 8 up
to 7lb on a pink fab and diawl bachs. Mr Whiteford kept his 3 fish
for 8lb and put back 6 on a damsel.
The
Woodside pool has been really busy in the nice weather with many full
bags being recorded. Green powerbait and spinners have been the top
bait of late. Over the weekend there was a total of 37 anglers landed
68 fish for weight of 115lb.

MARKLE
(East Lothian) NO
REPORT THIS WEEK
5.
SWANSWATER
(Stirling)
There was a cool breeze for most of the week, but despite this the
water temperature rose from 6oC to 8oC. Water clarity remains
excellent which means that the Goldies can be seen cruising around
the ponds. Over the course of the week the fish were to be found at
various depths from around 4 or 5 feet deep right up to about 2 feet
below the surface. They were also to be found in various different
areas of the pond with the Island, Far Bay and Dam all being the
favourite spots at different times. A few more Browns were hooked
this week and the Tigers continue to give excellent sport. A good
number of fish in the 4lb to 6lb range were landed this week
including Rainbows, Golds, Tigers and Browns. The usual lures are
still taking a good number of the fish but many were attracted by
Snatchers, Crunchers and Diawl Bach, with Buzzers also catching a
few. The Fishery is open this week as follows: Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday – 8.00am to 6.00pm. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday –
8.00am to 8.00pm.
