Again the weather forecasters got it completely wrong with them stating quite categorically that we would have dry windy weather this last week, it rained every day I know as I had to empty the boats, but what they didn’t guess right was that it was going to be so warm, Monday to Friday was positively mild and it encouraged the fish to rise in the water and feed, it was a pleasant sight to see them again, with three of the supposedly windy days flat calm anglers were treated to some nice pickings, and it would be fair to say that as sport fishing goes with the conditions and feeding available anglers were treated to some real classic fishing Hamish Anderson and his brother James from Linlithgow had a great day with 12 between them all returned all on home tied dry flies, both lads commenting that the fishing wasn’t easy but really good as when the fish showed they interested in a particular fly they were committed to that pattern and colour, Saturday was a good day with almost everyone getting fish the boys from the ferry fly dressers had a good day as did Jim Howison, Tayport who using size 14 diawl bachs, had 11, in about an hour, Jim himself was amazed as the most he has ever caught in 10 years fishing was six, and that was at Geordies pond which he admits isn’t a big place to fish, he did say that it was pretty obvious that the fish were in a Scholl, as he with his polarised glasses could see them in front of the jetty, he just kept casting right into the middle of them and waited for a good pull, being a good sport he moved and told a father and son where to go and they also had a few.
