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) Jack Hay from Haddington had 3 fish for 15lbs on a Zonker, Jim Matthews (Edinburgh) 3 for 10lbs on Bloodworm, G Meadows (Edinburgh) 5 on Buzzers, Bruce Hunter (Edinburgh) 5 on lures and John Daly from Edinburgh had 4 on lures. Ron Thom from Haddington used a Montana to catch 7, George Hill (Edinburgh) 7 on a CDC, Susan Hill 2 on a CDC and on a second visit John Daly had 6 on a Damsel.

5. SWANSWATER (Stirling) Plenty of fish of all colours were landed this week including several in the 4lb to 5lb range from all three ponds and on both flies and bait. The weather was changeable with some bright sunshine, some heavy showers and some very breezy spells. Water temperature has crept up to 14oC with clarity remaining excellent. The fish were at varying depths depending on the conditions although even when they were near the surface there was not a lot showing on the top. Towards the end of the week they were slightly deeper and mostly to be found around the island and between the dam and the big tree. Many fish were following flies right in to the edge and were taking close in. Favourite fly patterns included Humungus, Cat’s Whisker, Damsel, Montana, Kate McLaren, Black Pennell, Viva, Diawl Bach, Buzzer and Yellow Owl. Maggots and Yellow Power Bait took most fish on the bait pond.

6. WOODBURN (Milton of Campsie) There is still plenty of top of the water action especially during the calm spells when dries, Bibio, Hopper, Buzzers, CDCs and the Diawl Bach all working well. Plenty of bigger specimens are featuring in the baskets with Davie Robertson having the heaviest of the week – a cracker of 17lbs and Steven Sweeney from Moodiesburn wasn’t far behind with one at 15lbs included in his catch of 7 c/r. Italian visitor Snr. Geonge from Tuscany and 2 c/r – best 10lbs, Stewart Sutherland (Kirkintilloch) 8 c/r – best 11lbs, John Shaw (Kilsyth) 11 c/r – biggest 9lbs, Mr. Wright (Glasgow) kept 2 for 6lbs and returned a couple of 7lb fish whilst Dave Marsh from Glasgow had 1 for 8lbs.

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
