Even with all the rain the Loch is fishing great. The water is gin clear and the fish are on the naturals. This is the time of the year when fly fishers put on the floating line and really enjoy fishing. There is nothing more enjoyable than casting a dry fly in front of a feeding trout, then watch it take your dry and you are in. Then let battle commence. Sedges are on the water in numbers. They are about a inch long and the trout can be seen mopping them up. Also the adult damsels are hatching now. They are beautiful and plentiful to the trout. They can be seen hatching around the edges from the weed beds. A stealthy approach in the boat works best in the summer, and please keep seated. Anglers standing and moving about in boats may put of the educated trout in that fishing area. So it was a tale of two opposites last week. Yellow owl dries or sedges on a floating line, or a slow sinking line with a inch long damsel. Both caught as many fish as the other. Black hoppers are starting to take good numbers of fish now. Pulled slowly on a midge tip line. Hot spot at the moment is all the way along the high bank.
This Saturday is our through the night session. We forgot that the International football was on. So we understand that there might be some hangovers and not many fishing. We shall find out. Please phone up the Loch and get booked in.
Only three weeks to go for the Sierra pairs competition at the loch. Please fill in the form on the web site for the Sierra pairs and get the Black Loch date filled in.
