Goldenloch may -23-11
Fishing at the Goldenloch this past week has been hampered by the weather, the wind has just been continuous and its never stopped, occasionally there has been short brief spells of a gentler breeze, however the fishing has been pretty good, most if not everyone seems to have caught something, early morning definitely being the time that the fish are most active, mid day especially when quite windy is hard with the evening being just about as good as the morning but not until about 9 pm, there is a fair bit of fly life on the water, with the birds active most of the day, especially the seagulls which are taking emerging stonefly larvae as it transforms on the surface, however the fish are also very interested in these buzzers and take them as the are emerging from deep down, with May drawing to a close it will be interesting to see just how much fly life will be available in the next few months as traditionally this is the time when it should all happen, for the past couple of years its been a bit disappointing with the morning and evening rises not being as prominent as the used to be, however it looks like this year is going to be very different, we already have the makings of fish activity am and pm, we seem to have a massive amount of fly life as well and with good clear water the fish are easily spotted and they can easily spot flies, so lets hope it all falls into place. A very interesting point that should be noted is that already we have had several anglers commenting that they have caught thier fish using dry flies.
