Fishing Report Week Ending 24 May 2015

We will start with the weather again. The rain has stopped but the wind just keeps on blowing. One regular O.A.P. angler John O'Hara was top man this week with his usual 3 fish caught for 9.6lb on his 3 fish limit and then went on to c/r another 18 on a hot head damsel. He certainly had a red letter day. The weather is so unpredictable that it is hard to give exact hot spots that are consistent at the moment. The dam and school bay and the heather banks had the best bags but with different flies and at different depths. Lures worked on Di-3 lines some days, then the floating line and dries worked the next. The sedges have started to appear, but not the inch in size ones yet, but it wont be long. That is a great time for the whole of the high bank area as it comes alive when the sedges are on, and it holds the fish for that reason. Black and green is still a good colour at the moment. Either on lures or buzzers. Lots of fish in the 4lb mark being caught at the moment, with a few anglers hooking, seeing, and playing, but not landing big fish. The fish grow quickly and put on muscle quickly in the water and wont give up their life easily. Other anglers that done well this week, J. Sneddon 3 for 8.11lb and 2 c/r, McGilvray 5 and 1 c/r on buzzer, booby and diawl bach, Lochinch angling club 16 for 49.12lb and 13 c/r, McDonald 3 for 9lb and 1 c/r, regulars W. McCann and J. Cairns had 5 and 1, Rab Thomson had 14 on c/r on an evening session, Penicuik angling club 22 for 65.10lb and 2 c/r, Grizzlecats 18 for 51.2lb and 15 c/r, St. Peters 27 for 78lb, Bothwell and Blantyre angling club 25 for 69lb. Lets hope for some proper summer weather and great evening rises. The type we long to fish in. Evening sessions finish at 22.00 this week, but will finish at 22.30 from next week. going on till 23.00 as it gets lighter for longer. We will be doing an all nighter this year, possibly two. Keep checking the web for details as we have not finalised the date yet. Alex is back after his wife's accident and looking forward to see you all again.
