The weather changed everything last week. We had snow , ice, sleet, wind and rain. It changed the way the fish were feeding. The week previous, natural flies were by far the best. Last week with the huge temperature drop things changed. Sinking lines and dancers were working well. Is it only Scotland that gets four seasons in eight hours. This huge change in atmospheric pressure unsettles trout, and this upsets the way they go about there normal feeding habits. This is why Scottish anglers are so consistent. We have got used to the weather that Scotland throws at us, and can adjust our tactics to suit. Lures were the best last week on Di-3 lines, with cats whiskers, yellow dancers, fab's and booby's being the best flies. Using the washing line method on the Di-3 was working well. Again the east side of the Loch was the best place to be. Anglers that braved the weather and were rewarded with a good catch, Barry Anderson caught a cracking 5.10lb fin perfect rainbow that you could shave with the tail on it, Luggiebank 9 for 22lb and 1 c/r, Bonnybridge A.C. 34 for 67lb and 3 c/r, Diezel A.C. 27 for 54.4lb and 4 c/r, G. Jardine 7 c/r on lures, J. Ferguson 9 c/r on blobs, R. Watson 7 c/r on cormorants, K. Stevenson 9 c/r on diawl bach's, J. Penn 14 on c/r on dial bach's, Fred Paddon 7 on c/r on diawl bach and fab, G. MacIntosh 5 for108lb and 2 c/r, J. Johnson 5 for 9.12lb and 5 c/r, W. McFarlane 5 for 10.8lb and 3 c/r, I. McLaren 5 for 11.3lb and 6 c/r, I. Young 5 for 9.14lb and 2 c/r, D. Patterson 5 for 10.5lb and 6 c/r, John Gilmour 5 for 10.5lb and 1 c/r.
The Black Loch Bibios and the boat league start this week. So for the under sixteens, come along on a Tuesday night. For the boat league, it is a Thursday night. Evening seasons have started now.
