Fishing Report Week Ending 9 August 2015

Firstly let me say, well done to our Scottish Youth Team, who won the International competition by a big margin during the week. Well done to the boys, and the team. 

Evening sessions finish at 10.00pm now. Nights are closing in, so you have the chance of another permit. That permit means, you can start the evening session from 2.00pm and go on till 10.00pm. But you will need to check first, that boats are available on 07527 254811. The middle of the season can sometimes be a harder time to catch fish. It can be a feast or famine. During the week the loch fished great with good returns, then at the weekend some anglers struggled. The middle of the loch is definitely the hot spot with fish showing. Birds working the area normally means that food is coming off, and they worked the middle of the loch the hole day on Saturday. So that means the fish are there feeding also. It takes almost an hour on the drogue to drift slowly across the middle of the loch, but well worth it at the moment. The fish come from the depths and hammer the fly, then head back down again. S. Adams had 11 on c/r on Saturday doing that with a midge tip line on hoppers and sedges. During the week it was the South reedy bay and the high bank. With fab's, booby's and crunchers working well. At the weekend it was in the middle. What does that mean? You have to move about and try different methods to catch the fish. And remember, it is the middle of our summer so the fish should be looking up towards the surface for the terrestrials that will be getting blown on. Daddy's, ants and heather flies should all be making an appearance soon. Anglers that did well, George Learmonth 12 on c/r on fabs, Harry Broadley 3 for 8.5lb and 4 c/r on diawl bach's, J. Marshall 3, and 4 c/r on a bibio, J. Mason 5 on c/r on blob and fab, John Middleton 3 for 8.8lb and 1 c/r on hoppers, W. McCann 3 on c/r and one brown about between 5-6lb, D. Cameron 2 for 6lb and 8 c/r on blob, J. Duckworth 4 for 11.2lb on fab and blob's, Falkirk Fly Dressers had 23 for 47.12lb and 13 c/r, I.B.M. had15 for 37lb, A.B.C and D had 14 for 37lb on cormorants and blobs, FFDAC had 8 for 21lb.
