being attracted by bright colours so flies and lures incorporating
bright green, red, yellow and orange are all doing well. The Eagle

FORBES OF
KINGENNIE

off again. Water-levels and clarity have fluctuated considerably
depending on weather conditions. Overall there have still been some
fine catches recorded on the better days.
The
Boathouse
Pool has
fished steadily. Mr. Tidcolme enjoyed a productive session taking
four fish for 10lbs and releasing a magnificent brownie estimated at
13lbs. On his last cast of the day Bruce Thomson landed and released
a huge rainbow estimated at 18lbs....not a bad way to finish! Mr.

morning catch. Mr. McIntosh returned 14 fish and Ian Barlow released
seven fish including a fine rainbow estimated at 8lbs. Mr. Elder took
four fish for a combined weight of 9lbs 12oz. Cormorants and Diawl

five anglers released 38 fish between them, with Greg McLaren

The

hasn’t received much angling pressure recently but Keith Robertson
returned a fine brownie estimated at 4lbs amongst his catch.
On
the any legal method pool (the Woodside

fished Powerbait has again been the best option. Young anglers Aiden

5.
SWANSWATER
(Stirling)
The week started cold and
frosty but the main area of Swanswater and the Millpond remained ice
free thanks to the aerators being switched on. During the cold
spell the fish were out in middle of the pond and were to be found
deep down. Towards the end of the week the weather turned a little
milder and the fish moved closer to the bank and nearer the surface.
The fishing was pretty good all week with some good bags coming off.
Most were taken on lures with Dancer, Humungus and Cat’s Whisker
the favourite patterns. Other successful flies included Bloodworm,
Bibio, Buzzer and Cormorant. On the bait pond mouse tails and worms
were the most successful baits. The Fishery is open every day from
8.00am to 4.00pm
