Goldenloch november 5 / 2012 week 45
A crazy week at the Goldenloch, it was over two weeks ago when I ordered the load of fish that went in last week and then the weather was quite warm and settled ( no mention of hurricane sandy or hard frost) we were getting then good rise in the late afternoon and plenty of fish showing all day, so I decided then to put in a kind of a special load which would effectively replace all the bigger fish that we had lost earlier in the season, due to the algae collapse, so a load of 2 kilo plus fish were ordered, which arrived on Tuesday past, a crakin load of fish, its not that we hadn’t been putting in any big fish as with every load there are always a few and even Brian Kemp Kirkcaldy who was fishing the day before we put in this load will verify with six caught keeping 3 for 8 ½ lbs, anyway the fish arrived and were put in and ever since they arrived we have had bitter cold weather with the loch covered in ice even this morning as a write this we have an 80% covering albeit very thin and I expect it to melt very quickly, having just been down and spoken with an angler he decided to go fishing due to the fact that there are rising fish in the clear areas, but the weekend past was a bit of a bunner on Saturday I was away all day but there were a reasonable amount of anglers out fishing on my brief return back about 3 pm for 10mins however no one wrote any catches in the book, Sunday saw again a full loch albeit a very cold icy start with a cold wind blowing over the loch the fish were moving early as I was down with the gun at 7 chasing cormorants, they are here much earlier this year and they seem to be bigger, George one of my regulars had 2 quickly followed by another 2 using the smallest ever green nymphs, whilst everyone else really struggled with what I think was a really bright very cold day there were others catching fish but just occasionally.
