Fishing Report Week Ending 20 March 2016

This season has started with some outstanding catches and to date not one angler has blanked. The weather has been great for March and fish are rising and can be seen feeding all over the Loch. Gary McInlay from the Luggiebank club had 24 on a c/r ticket, Ian Dobbie had 7 on c/r and C. Smith had a cracking over wintered bar of silver rainbow of 5.10lb. The loch is fishing out its skin at the moment. Lets hope for more of this settled weather so the fishing continues to be as good. Garry caught all his 24 on lures but diawl bachs were the fly of choice for most and the most consistent. Forrest bend to school bay is full of fish, right up to the heather hills are all fishing well. Slow sinking lines are the best at the moment. We are still taking names for the boat league and the Black Loch Bibios for the kids. If you are interested phone Alex on 07527 254811 and put your name on the list. The two fish limit for the O.A.P. during the week seems popular and at only £17.00 and a day in a great boat, it is a win win for our oldies. Boats are available for the weekend so call Alex and get one booked. Anglers that did well, J. Shearer 2 for 5.12lb and 2 c/r, F. Gillespie 3 on c/r, S. Hardie 5 on c/r, S. McDonald 4 on c/r, B. Hardie 5 for 11.4lb, D. Patterson 3 on c/r, D. Avery 3 for 6.4lb, J. Middleton 3 on c/r.

We know seem to have two resident swans on the Loch.

Fishing Report Season Start : 19 March 2016

The Loch is stacked full of fish and the anglers are loving it. Every angler so far has caught there fish and had a great day. The weather has been kind so far for March and fish are feeding on the surface. Diawl bachs are the fly of choice at the moment on a intermediate line fished slowly. South reedy bay and school bay are fishing well. But the whole Loch is alive with fish at the moment. Lets hope for more good weather for this to continue.

Names are still being taken for the boat league this year. So if you want to try the boat league and fish with different anglers and pick there brains this is a great opportunity. Boats are still available for the weekend, so phone Alex on 07527 254811 to book a boat.
