3. 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) NO REPORT THIS WEEK
5. SWANSWATER (Stirling) Water temperature is still around 12-13oC and the clarity remains excellent. The fishing was sometimes quite hard with many more fish being lost than actually landed. Many anglers expressed frustration at the light takes and lost fish. The fish were generally around 2 to 3 feet down but were happy to come up to take dry flies when offered. Favourite patterns this week included the usual lures such as Cat’s Whisker, Ally McCoist and Dancer; nymphs including Hare’s Ear, Diawl Bach and Olive; wet and dry flies with Kate McLaren, Bibio, Hopper and Spider being the most popular. On the bait pond Mouse tails, Maggots and various colours of Power Bait were the most successful.

6. WOODBURN (Milton of Campsie) The fishing is still excellent with plenty top of the water action and plenty of big fish being caught. Mr. Hopkins from Kirkintilloch had 3 c/r including one at 20lbs, Andy Young (Ibrox) 16 c/r – best 11lbs, J Spiers (Falkirk) 2 for 4lbs 4oz, Mr. Pate Bearsden 10 c/r, Don Stewart 14 c/r – best 9lbs and Dave Brown from Kilsyth had 3 for 9lbs.

The fishery is performing really well at the moment with lots of double figure rainbows and big browns being caught along with some very big blues which is rather uncommon. Right now Dries are really doing well with the Olive CDC probably the favourite but lots of fish are also being taken on Black Hopper Poppers and watching the fish, with massive bow waves taking these flies is awesome
