October-26th –Week 43-2016
Its been good this week so far, here is a Mid week update, the fishing has been a lot better, it getting a bit warmer, today its 11 degrees at 6 am, even though yesterday morning it was a bit frosty, I am just about to have a coffee and then go looking for cormorants, yesterday there were 11, not that any landed, but they all were looking for somewhere to get a feed, they eventually flew of inland, towards Loch Leven, trouble is with these birds, if you don’t understand them or even realise the damage they do, which can be horrendous in a very short space of time, for example at dawn 11 birds could easily catch 20 plus trout in 10 minutes, then fly off, without people even noticing and that multiplied by 7 days, is 140 fish, which equates to a full load of fish in a pickup, at Lindores Loch there is a couple of trees that they roost in, on Sunday there was over 30, which is just about impossible to count, But here in the early morning there are fish rising absolutely everywhere, they can be seen feeding close to the shore lines, Alan Hyndman, again had a brilliant session, with 9 returned and good solid pulls from a countless amount of others, Eddie Henderson and Harold on an early morning stint did very well, I never found out their count but they were here really early in the morning, and it was very frosty, a few winter faces starting to appear and it nice to see them again, but alas it is the end of the summer season tickets this week, your company will be missed, hopefully we will see you next year, On a little bit of a down note, someone has been baiting the water and bits of dog food or something similar has been found on the shore, I have my suspicions’ but this is a warning to that person or persons if you are caught I can virtually guarantee tee that you Fly Fishing Careers will be over, Its much the same as those that want to do catch and release with huge big barbed lures, if you are going to be returning then it must be barbless, How it works is if you buy a 2 fish kill ticket, after the first 2 fish caught the hooks must be changed to barbless, Simples.
