Dry cdc, yellow owl, daddy's and g+h sedge were all consistent this week. Even with the terrible Scottish weather the trout are on the surface. A few browns were caught this week on the dry including a 4.5lb specimen. There were some big fish caught this week including a 6lb and two just over the 7lb. They are great fish as they have grown on and conditioned well. We have worked out from scale size and testing on the scales, that the trout put on about 1.5 to 2lb of weight each year in the Loch. If you are fortunate enough to see some of the double figure monsters cruise about when a feeding frenzy is on. You will understand that a fish of a life time can be caught in the Loch. The frogs are on the go at the moment and when you see a double figured brown trout come up for one, you will understand how they put on the weight. Forest bend and the dam to the heather hills fished well this week on floating lines and dries. You may be tempted with the bad weather to go on midge tip lines or sinking lines. But you will go below where the fish are feeding and miss so much more action. More settled weather is forecast for this week, so that should make for good conditions for us anglers. No more thunder and lightning. At least for the moment anyway. Anglers that did well this week, A. Davidson 5 for 10.11lb and 2 on c/r, Heriots A. C. 13 for 26.4lb and 51 on c/r, St. Mungos 11 for 22lb and 1 c/r, C. Cowan 15 on c/r, W. Brice 5 for 13.7lb and 2 on c/r, Western A.C. 7 on c/r, M. Stewart 6 on c/r, G. Scott 5 for 14lb and 3 on c/r, G. Mair 7 on c/r, R. Gibb 5 on c/r, L. Taylor and I. Glassford 10 for 25.12lb, M. Nicol and G. Christie 9 on c/r. Evening sessions are still to 10.30pm, but that might change from next week. As dare i say it, that the nights are starting to draw in. So come on, get some evening sessions under your belt before you miss it for another year. Where ever you fish, enjoy your time on the water. Those are tomorrows memories.
