The loch is covered in sedges and mayfly at the moment. Then it got even better. The big trout are hitting the perch fry. The swifts, black headed gulls and terin's have been working the water all week. The natural feeding moving and coming off the water, at the moment is astonishing. The fish are on the feed. Anglers who spooned their fish found bellies full of mayfly and sedges. Some of the big fish were hooked but lost, and that is on 13lb nylon. The fish are loving this natural food source that is abundant at the moment. which means they are putting on weight and muscle. Great news for us anglers. Regular senior angler John O'Hara was back this week after a week of with a bad back. He did an evening session on Sunday night and said he had to stop fishing and move position as he caught and released over 20 fish on a red sedge. Some were crackers. Hot spots this week were, School bay and the high banks. Anglers using the washing line method, with green/olive crunchers, cormorants or diawl bach's did very well. The fish are at the top of the water. Gartcosh angling club were out on Saturday, and 4 of there boats were back in the lodge by lunch time finished, fishing in School bay. So had time so socialise. 10 out of 10 for that. The water is crystal clear so we advise you to stay seated in the boats. Standing up means the fish can see you. It may put them off. Anglers that did well this week, A. Anderson 4 on c/r on buzzers, G. Mooney 3 for 9.6lb on dries, Findlay Mc Donald 3 for 10.3lb, Camp and Camp 3 on c/r one about 6lb, R. Kennedy 3 on c/r on G&H sedge, S. Gordon3 for 10.5lb on yellow owl, Gartcosh Angling club 44 for 90lb, Grangemouth Fly Fishing 16 for 43lb and 3 c/r, Falkirk Municipal 19 for 43.12lb, Barry's Angling Club 7 for 15.9lb.
This Sunday organized by Davy Symon. the Bannockburn fly fishers have an outing at the Loch. Also it is in memory of Charlie Horne, his brother in law who passed away recently and was a member of the club. Charlie's sister is coming up and is putting on a barbeque free for all who want it. Davy has approached various tackle shops in the area and has had donations of various items for this Sunday. Drop in a prize if you want. There will be a auction/raffle with the proceeds going to Strathcarron hospice, as a thank you, for all that they did for Charlie while he was in their care. Some boats are still available, but if you don't want to fish, please come up and support Davy and his wife and buy a raffle ticket for a great cause, or just to show your appreciation to" The Wee man."
