August-08th –Week 32-2016
Well it’s a good week, with the weeds having had a good bash, it would seem great for some and still pish for others, the weeds down the sides nearest the jetties have been pulled as of Friday past and tomorrow the boys will pull the weeds out that have at last blown to the edge, the water is gin clear as of 07/08/2016 and the temperature is down, the water level is at its max, the fishing is outstanding, with some lads actually getting tired catching fish, almost everyone getting really good sized catches, Huff and Puff from Perth the Grimm brothers came off the loch on Thursday at 8.30 disappointed at the lack of an evening rise but had still caught 5 fish between them, yet an hour later 4 others on coming off said that just as they were leaving the loch just exploded with fish, in fact two lads catching 2 fish at the same time, today saw Derry and Rab Grierson fishing and it was windy, very windy, not the usual bag for Rab, but he still had a few, yet again, after they left 4 others fishing were greeted with an amazing amount of rising fish, one lad in that group however was fishing with barbed snakes, on asking to see his catch had 5 fish in his bag, in total 4 lads, 15 fish, needless to say they will not be back, even after they paid in full for the fish, but it beggars belief that why would in this day and age act in this way, the really stupid thing is I was actively about fixing a boat and its not that difficult to spot what’s happening especially when one of them insisted on standing on the boat seat to cast, this week has seen catches mostly on sedges and top floating flies, the rules here are if you are on the bank, the boat has to give way to you, and boats should not be in the channel next to the jetties, if you are in a boat on a spot that favours you and sees a lot of fish being caught 9 or more then you must move to another quadrant of the loch otherwise it is deemed unsporting, these are the rules and most have no problem with them.
