August-29th –Week 35-2016
Its been a definite week of two halves, the first was Sunday to Wednesday, and the fishing was ultra fantastic with loads getting caught, ( I am going to rename this place YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE YESTERDAY) plus anglers getting lots of follows, offers and loosing fish, late Wednesday till today, has been OK, but I would say much harder fishing, it coincided with a massive air pressure drop from 105.03 HPA to 98.6 which is now back up to 103.2 HPA, this saw the fish very dorty and uninterested in taking just about any flies, it was also linked to a huge evening temperature drop on Wednesday, which started at noon and evening dropping to 09 degrees from 18, the net effect of all these changes was, it makes the fishing more challenging, as the fish just seem to switch off, but its not all bad, between there are fun times and some great sport, two elderly regulars have had brilliant fishing, in what was basically scorching weather, with easily some days 10+ to their boat, and only ever fishing dry flies, they seem some days to just be in the zone, Sandy Drummond, Kingskettle also has had amazing fishing, as has Martin Nicol using little black things, but it has also been very hot and sultry and that in itself makes anglers impatient as they tend to get a bit steamy, Huff and Puff have hot been doing so well pulling their lures, they keep threatening to go else where, that’s fine by me, in speaking to some other fishery operators, it seems they are having similar problems to ours, but its hard to judge as everywhere has different types of waters, however generally this time of year the fishing tends to be difficult, that’s why a lot of anglers don’t go fishing during August and September each year, thankfully there are those that just really enjoy their days sport, regardless of how many they catch, and are pleasant, whether they are boat or bank, and there are the ones that wait till the fishing is pretty easy and expect to catch fish with every cast, they tend to be pretty snarky if they don’t catch, but its for fun, and as we get older was all become like the two gents that just sit in the boat watching time pass by.
