Week ending 06/07/06 goldenloch
Anglers at the Goldenloch have had a great weeks sport with fish taking flies of the surface every day, this season had to come really good at some stage and all it took was the temperature to drop a little and trigger a different type of fly hatch, Friday saw a huge rise and everyone catching of the surface using hoppers daddies and spiders, Brian Stewart Dundee had 3 for 8lbs and returned 3 using a claret Hopper as did Donald Dewar, Margaret and George Duff, Glenrothes, had a very leisurely afternoon in bright sunshine catching 4 using diawl bachs, Bob Harvey Leuchars was having a great evening with 3 fish for 12lbs and 6 returned, using suspender and shipman’s buzzers, with the water gin clear and no weed problems anglers are having to get the fly selection right as the fish will just turn away from something that they do not want this was demonstrated when first time fisher, Mr R Paterson Glenrothes, was fitted up with a brown daddie and promptly caught a 2.75lb rainbow, similarly husband and wife Mr and Mrs Rattery, Dundee first time at the Goldenloch were given from another angler some hoppers and damsel flies they then went on to catch 6 for 14lbs their first ever fish.
Goldenloch Appeal to all Anglers
The Goldenloch would like to appeal to all anglers for any old fishing equipment, Rods, reels, lines, Flies etc Your donation would be very gratefully received, we are currently in negotiations with a large charity that are going to bring youths that are keen to fish, but have never had the chance, we are giving them free time bank fishing on the loch and the idea is that if possible we will try to give each a rod and reel etc, they will be supervised and we are sure that many fishermen if asked could give some tuition for a few extra hours fishing, This we think is a excellent opportunity for some of you lads and lasses to clear out your cupboards or give an excuse to buy some new kit, but most importantly it could potentially give a kick to fly-fishing as a sport by bringing in more young people, please help us to help them which in turn helps the sport,
Thank You John
