Fishing Report Week Ending 14 August 2016

The big fish are on the move. The Loch is bubbling with fish at the moment. This is the time of year when the double digit rainbows through caution to the wind, and can be caught that bit easier. On Monday we counted over twenty of them cruising about hitting fry and taking sedges of the surface. Be quiet in the boat, and stay seated so you dont scare the fish away, and if the conditions are right. You have a good chance to catch a monster. The weather is to be more settled this week, so it is looking good for that fish of a life time to be caught. Muddlers and dries were the best flies this week, but candy booby and cormorants also did well. A slow drift with a drouge was the best method and drifting right across the middle gave the best results. The heather hills and North reedy bay also fished well. Ayr travelers had a good day with 92 on c/r on dries, Tilly A.C. 10 for 22.10lb, Alex Adams 5 on c/r on diawl bachs, Priory club 24 for 50lb, St. Peters 45 for 99.5lb and 6 c/r, Wire Mill 24 for 44.3lb and 6 on c/r, SPRA West 35 for 80.5lb and 3 on c/r, M. Ezzi 7 on c/r on booby, Bibios kids 16 on c/r, G. Bulloch 5 for 10.7lb and 2 c/r, IBM 25 for 60lb, Ferry fly dressers 15 for 34.5lb. Nights are drawing in now so evening seasons finish at 9.45pm.

Fishing Report Week Ending 7 August 2016

The Loch fished well during the week with some great catches and great fish. Look at the stunning rainbow caught this week at the Loch on the web site. On Saturday as the huge pressure change occurred, ready for the high winds on Sunday. It made conditions hard on Saturday. Trout dont like huge atmospheric changes. Then all the boats were cancelled for Sunday because of the high wind gusts of 50 mph. it was midge tip lines or slow sinking lines this week that did best, with flies like blobs, gold humungus, booby's and fab's. What a difference a week in Scotlands summer can make to our fishing conditions. Drifting right across the middle of the Loch was the most productive this week with the best bag weights coming from this area. A lot of fish in the 3 to 5lb weight range were caught this week. Good catches this week, A. Martin 6 on c/r, J. McAlliom 5 for 12.10lb, G. Leishman 5 for 11.4lb, Ferry fly dressers 15 for 34.5lb, IBM 25 for 60lb, G. Bulloch 5 for 10.7lb and 2 c/r, C. Cowan 14 on c/r, G. Fisher 3 for 7.10lb and 9 c/r, G. Adamson 5 for 14.2lb and 2 c/r, Jaycob 7 on c/r, B. Nelson 5 for 14.7lb and 1 c/r, Callame club 22 and 3 c/r, G. McGuire 6 on c/r.

A well done to our Scottish youth team who came second in the International in Ireland. They were only two fish behind the winners who were the home nation Ireland. Which was great, as on the match day the wind blew hard and made conditions terrible for all the boys.

Fishing Report Week Ending 31 July 2016

Big fish are being caught at the Loch at the moment. Browns and rainbows. Look at he website to see the brown and rainbow that were caught this week on different days by different anglers. You will understand that a fish of a lifetime can be caught in the Loch. The tail on the rainbow is twice the size of the girth of the trout and just look at the silver growth marks through the tail. You can not catch better quality trout than that. If you hook one of these monsters, it is like hooking a torpedo on steroids. Just about every day, anglers are commenting on the big fish that are cruising about. The high banks tight to the Lilly's, and South reedy bay fished well this week, on midge tip lines and hoppers. With a steady retrieve just under the surface seemed to work the best. Anglers that did well this week, Rainbow warriors 40 for 90.04lb and 15 c/r, W. Munn 7 on c/r on hoppers, J. Anderson 5 on c/r on hoppers, Gillespie and Harrison 9 on c/r on daddys, C. Stoneley 2 for 4.10lb and 7 c/r, G. McFarlane 6 on c/r on blobs, G. Pelini 6 on c/r on booby, M. Moran, K.
