The weather was hot and so was the fishing. Top of the water sport is fantastic at the moment. Anglers on a floating line with traditional flies, caught far more trout than anglers on any sinking line and lures. Nature has provided an abundant food source for the trout in the water. So in the summer when the trout are switched on to the natural food larder, we need to imitate that. Lures will catch fish, but at the moment you will be out fished by your partner in the boat on traditionals. We stock weekly and the fish are in great condition. This week we have a lot of fish in the 4lb to 6lb range coming. The big brown trout was hooked twice last week. We reckon it is about 12 to 14lb in size. it is swimming about with what looks like a yellow damsel in its mouth. Two separate anglers hooked it and played it and seen it, but could not bring it finally to the net. Both got snapped and they seen the fly in its mouth. Now it has more in it, till they fall out. This will be the fish of a lifetime for one lucky angler. Evening sessions finish at 10.30pm for the moment and are well worth a try, as the trout love to feed in the grey dark. Anglers and clubs that did well this week, Dunfermline Railway 30 for 62.10lb and 17 c/r, Falkirk Fly dressers 16 for 35.8lb, Penicuik A.C. 33 for 64.6lb and 20 on c/r, Keir Hardie 5 on buzzers, R.
