Fishing Report Week Ending 3 July 2016

Apologies for late posting of report - our webmaster was having some technical issues!

It was a tale of two different conditions last week. With the change in the weather and the wind. Lures on a floating line worked well during the day. In the evening it was the sedges on a floating line. Local Stenhousemuir man David Patterson had 16 on c/r on fabs and blobs. Then regular evening anglers Willy and Jock McCann had 12 on hoppers and sedges on the surface. The East side of the Loch fished well from School bay, to the dam. At the weekend with the wind it made conditions harder at the East side. But the anglers that fished that area had the best bags. Adult damsels are pouring out the water as I write this. They are climbing out the reeds around the Loch in thousands. Drying wings, then they are off. I have never seen as many adult damsels take to flight at one time. But if nature says the time is right. They will come to the surface and start the circle of life again. So again conditions might be changing. It could be worth swimming a damsel. Anglers that did well last week, Rockfield A.C. 18 for 38.10lb, Bruce 6 on c/r on sedges, S. Sneddon 10 on c/r on yellow owl, butcher boys 61 for 130lb and 10 c/r, Luggiebank 10 and 2 c/r, S. Lind 10 on c/r on sedges, S. Hardie 14 on c/r on foam daddy, J. Mc Donald 6 on c/r on blob, Dixon 6 on c/r on diawl bach. There are still some boats available for the Strathcarron fundraiser on the 17th of this month. Lunch will be provided by Davy Symon and family. Raffles and auctions for lots of great prizes on the day. If you dont want to fish, you can still come along for the raffle etc, about tea time, and support this great cause.

With a sad note we have to say that the boat league will finish on Thursday 14th July. A lack of numbers participating in the boat league has made it come to a early end. We can only say a big thank you to our sponsors, Fishers. who have provided the weekly prizes for the boat league. So the last night will be on Thursday the 14th July and we will do the presenting at the end of the evening for the winners.

We are planing now for a big competition next year instead of the boat league. We will keep you informed.

Fishers banners will stay at the Loch, and we would ask you the anglers. If you need any tackle etc, give them a phone or pop through to the shop and give them a try. They are a great bunch of guys and will do you a great deal on your tackle. You can get the link from our web site.
