First of all, let me apologise for the delay in posting this report - our Webmaster was sick last week!
Blobs or hoppers. They are about as far apart, in fishing flies as we are to the moon. But that summed up this weeks fishing. Some anglers were on floating lines with hoppers and some on Di-5 with blobs and snakes. The catch rate for both was consistent. Work that one out. Not as many anglers spoon there fish now. That could be because many anglers do catch and release. So it is hard to know on a daily basis what is on the natural menu for the trout. The loch is full of fry and sedges are still on. They must end soon, but there seems to be a limitless supply this year. Weekly stocking still continues and our fish this week are coming from AE fisheries on Friday. Let us know what you think about them. School bay, the heather hills and the dam fished well this week. But anglers had to move about to find fish. If you don't hit fish within 30 minutes at the most. Change flies and if that doesn't work, move. It is a big water, so great if you are on the fish. If not, get the old grey mater in your head working. If you move and it works well done. You worked to earn your fish. It was good to see The Invicta club up on Sunday. It is great to see the ladies fishing and certainly holding there own against a predominately male sport. Well done to Judith Swan who won the competition on the day.
