bright sunshine and strong winds were met by anglers and fish seemed to be held in the bottom area of the loch which went against the way the wind was blowing,this made it hard in the afternoon after the morning fishing was quite brisk and then tailed towards the afternoon.Plenty of good fish were caught including some nice full tailed doubles which in a catch and release comp anglers would have preferred to see 2lb,ers.But they just kept coming.Fish put up a good account and were all in top condition.A good day despite conditions and it was hard fishing in the afternoon.

You should always expect the unexpected in fly fishing and it proved that in fishing this week.bright sunshine shoulnt see fish taking dry flys vividly off the top but more down deeper on nymphs and lures,but the dry fly has been tops all week and for months and despite sunshine and high waves at times making sport excellent.Constant catches throughout the day and only now and again quiet but not for long.Buzzers,CDc,s shipmans buzzers,spiders and small ginger dries have worked very well.13 yr old,Tyler Hay had 20 fish with a beauty at 7lbs 4ozs and for one so young did very well on what should be a difficult day and using Buzzers to add the cream to it.Sean Cowan had 34 fish with 2 over 6lbs and 3 over 5lbs,Gordy McKay had 20,brother Dennis had 18,D Reid had 20,Gordon Addison had 33,S Urquart had 20,R Ewing had 25 on 18 was a host of anglers,D McPherson,Les Aitken,J Eddie,G Anderson,,P Green had 22,P Bieske had 12,D Leitch had 15,and On 11 fish was Mark Lee,Mark Morrison,mark tate,S Boyd.A Noble had 16 and T Anderson had a 5lb 2ozs fish.

Fishing has been fairly good with a small downturn as the sun popped out for a while which switched fish off for a bit and then came on again later.It didnt stop plenty of good fish coming out with Ben Cresswell taking a nice 12lb 10ozs fish,John McKenzie had a 7lb 14oz,Jim Eddie a 7lb 13oz,Mark Petrie had a fish of 8lbs,Doug Taylor had a 6lb 14ozs,Neil Carmichael a 6lb 13oz,Nicky Bremner a 6lber,Michael Clark a 4lb 12oz,Willie Petrie a 4lb 4oz and Andrew Thompson a fish of 4lbs.The New road has now been laid to the fishery and is a vast improvement and other improvements have also started which are making a big difference to the fishery.

Ice was still visible for most of the week but it didnt put off the good fishing.Most fish were taking buzzers in the okey dokey style of lime and white and were not far down and a floating line was all that was really needed.mark Taylor caught and returned a fish which was estimated conservitivly by anglers who watched it at 15lbs ,most thought bigger,but better to air on the caution side,but a bigg fish non the less.David Reid had a nice 6lb 1ozs fish and those who had decent fishing was Chris johnstne, and Seamus Maguire with 12 fish each ,Jim Walker and Tony Robson both on 10 fish.With a decent wind now it is expected the lochs should be clear of remaining ice and the lochs back to normal,even though the main loch always remains open with plenty of water even in frosty conditions.Improvements are continuing and the road is next once frost has lifted and other things will be done over the next coming weeks.
