Week ending 03/sept/07 goldenloch
Well everything is back to normal, the fishing is superb everyone is really enjoying their days sport, catches are best described as low but everyone is getting loads of offers and turning lots of fish, most people are leaving with 1 or 2 fish which from our point of view is ideal as it leaves more in the water for others the flies that have been working best this past week have been claret hoppers and PT Nymphs, but people have been getting catches with red or black buzzers and some using small dry flies, during the day when the fishing for the past few weeks has been hard we are now seeing fish chasing the flies and jumping for flies all over the loch, this is really encouraging to see and seems to be setting September up nicely for some real sport fishing, This past weekend has seen some really good catches D Wilson Kettle 3 for 7 lbs using green wells Jake Drummond 3 for 8.5lbs using black hoppers , Ray Eastwood 3 returned S Donnalds Kettle 2 for 6lbs using a gold muddler, J Kilgour, BoNess 3 for 6 lbs using a black Penal, and quite a few youngsters coming with their dads getting catches, the water is clear and levels are good there is a blanket algae now formed over the loch floor mostly round the margins which is extremely good as it is found only in O2 rich water, we have been pulling it out where it has been causing problems with landing fish, the water is weed free and generally the loch is in excellent condition,
Our only major problem just now is the psycho who is threatening to do damage again, since last year we have been getting nuisance calls from a number withheld on pretty regular basis, this idiot is the person we are sure is responsible for the massive fish lost last year at about this time of year, what we are asking is that visiting anglers be extra vigilant about they see and if you hear or if you are aware of anyone who is talking about doing damage again, please tell us either by phone or email and I can personally guarantee that your contact will be kept confidential, this person just wants to spoil a really good day out for many people, we only want anglers to come hear and enjoy a days sport fishing, it is what my parents always said fishing was about, “fishing is for fun its not about catching huge amounts of fish”, the police unfortunately can do very little as since the new act of parliament giving the public the right to roam has more or less done away with all the old poaching rules so to actually find a crime that has been committed is not so easy, the only information I can freely give out is that this person has extensive knowledge about what we do here and is obviously an angler that we have had words with in the past he is local we think to the area and tries to be a smarty pants calling himself Ted Brocklebank.
