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.
4.
MARKLE
(East Lothian)
It was a
quiet week but Ray Bain from Edinburgh topped the list with 10 fish
on a Gold Head Hare’s Ear, John Thomson (East Linton) 5 on Buzzers,
Dave Smith (Dunbar) 5 on the CDC, Derek Demarco (Haddington) 4 on
Dries and Jim Mathews from Edinburgh kept 3 fish for 12lbs on a
Bloodworm.
5.
SWANSWATER
(Stirling)
Fishing conditions were
generally pretty good this week with overcast weather and water
clarity still excellent. As water temperature rises and oxygen
levels decrease slightly the Browns and Tigers are to be found around
the Bridge and in the Far Bay. Fish are feeding in the margins of
the ponds and getting caught close in to the bank with the most
successful anglers getting theirs by casting along the bank, when
circumstances allowed. Although conditions were good, some anglers
were having a bit of difficulty in locating the fish. Many anglers
were catching one or two fish and several were reporting missing or
losing fish. Best patterns were lures such as Dancer, Tadpole, and
Ally McCoist, nymphs including Snatcher, Cormorant, Cruncher and
Buzzers. A few wet flies were also taking well. On the bait pond
Maggots, Mouse Tails and Power Bait were most popular. A good
variety of colours are still being caught on all three ponds with
some cracking Blues, Golds, Browns and Tigers featuring in the
returns, along with the usual top-quality Rainbows
