Stilll small dry flies goldenlochfor best results,: week ending 19/07/04
Small dry flies at the Goldenloch again are catching the fish, however some anglers have been getting very frustrated by not having or just not getting the right fly selection, when a neighbouring boat or person on the bank just seem to be catching everything, with fish now moving in all parts of the loch nearly all day anglers are just having to work hard at finding out what they are feeding on, Mr Stewart, Auchtermuchty and his son visiting from Lanark fishing in the middle of the loch got everything right and using very small dry nymphs landed 6 for 15lbs returning a few to fight again both lads commenting that they had their best days fishing ever, another very happy chap was Mr B Rioch again from Auchtermuchty with his son they had 2 for 6lbs returning and losing a few which were all taken of the surface with dry flies, from the bank Mr Garrigan Glenrothes had a great night with fish rising all around him from the minute he arrived and taking them on a suspender buzzers he had 3 for 6lbs returning a further 3 but losing loads giving great sport fishing. Friday night was one of those strange evenings with a very bright sun until about 8.30 and then a cold flat calm which brought with it an eerie quietness nothing was moving and no fish seemed to want to be caught, then about 10.30pm a small breeze started creating a nice ripple and loads of swallows appeared from nowhere and then the loch just burst into life, glum faces brightened and within an hour most anglers had either bagged up or had at least 2 fish.
