Goldenloch february 17, week 7, 2014
Its still very cold and not very pleasant for fishing, however yesterday it was fine for a couple of hours and with two lads out in a boat they could see plenty of fish, however were unable to connect with them, on their departing the comment was that they had a great day covering fish and apart from the cold which came in as the sun dropped about 3pm, during the week we had a few lads fishing from the bank with some success Frank Anderson, Crail using buzzers had 2 both about 3lbs, fine specimens’ was his comments and put up a great fight, and contrary to what we were told that the grass eating carp would not take a fly Hamish Gordon, Crieff fishing with his son caught one on a small red wet fly that he had tied himself and was just trying it out meanwhile his son Craig caught his first ever fish using a pink lure, much to alls delight the fish was well hooked and survived the ordeal of being landed by a nine year old, cormorants are now a major pest with several visiting daily keeping them away is just about a full time job and it is I think due to the really bad weather offshore, they just don’t like it although its where they would prefer to be, when the winds are high they cant perch on the rigs or boats and they need to do that to digest the fish they eat, so they come in land to small lochs and hammer them with each bird eating 3 or 4 fish per day, its easy to see how much damage 5 could do in a day that’s 15 fish and after a week its 75 so that why we keep them away.
