Diawl bach's, crunchers and cormorants were the best flies this week. Fab's and sedges worked also on the top. But just under the surface with a floating line or a midge tip with a slow retrieve worked best. The North reedy bay and the heather hills were the hot spots with forest bend giving up some beautiful brown trout. The browns were in such great condition that the angler put them back after taking a photo, and he was on a kill ticket, but thought they looked to good to do that. So they live another day for some one else. The weather as we all know, is so bizarre this summer. One day it blows from the West, then the South then the rain. Is there anything we can do about this summer? Yes, get out and practise. Keep a diary, and record your catches. When things get far from normal conditions, in the future. You can look back at a previous time like this, and you will know what to do! That is supposed to give you some comfort in this miserable weather. Gilmerton Fly Fishers were out on Saturday and smartly turned out in there club jackets. The photo will be on the web site. They had 15 fish for 39.7lb, Dalziel club 21 fish for 55.1lb, Stephen Burke 5 on c/r, Jim MacKie 5 for 14.7lb, G. Relini 6 on c/r on sedges, Milgavie angling club 20 for 51.1lb and 2 c/r, Matt Penman 4 for 13.1lb, George Bell 3 for 7.7lb and 2 c/r, Robert Paton 3 for 8.3lb and 2 c/r, A. Ritchmond 3 for 9.5lb and 2c/r, George Learmonth 9 on c/r, John Middleton 3 for 8lb and 3 c/r, D. Patterson 4 on c/r. Two of this years Scottish youth team members were out practising ahead of the International this week. Marco Ezzie and Alasdair Anderson. They both had 4 each on c/r. The Scottish youth team is very strong this year and in very good hands. I wish them great success in the competition.
