July-17th-Week-30-2017
Nice week, great weather, great fishing, it’s not been to easy though, this is the time of year when normally the fishing gets just a wee bit trickier, the fish are actually really spoilt for natural food, with the massive amount of nymphs buzzers and flies that are on offer, their condition whether large or small, is pretty much near perfect,
So what’s happening, well the fish are being enticed to go for FABs, which really is a pretty easy way to catch fish, originally a booby, which is now banned on lots of quality waters, the blob successfully took its place, it was an indicator first, that was then tied with a short hook, this proved highly successful, and was replaced by the now commonly called and used Foam Arsed Blob, FAB, it works by the fact that it is seen and heard as it is pulled trough the water, its is a disturber and an entice r, the curious hungry fish will easily be fooled by it, however for many it is there way of fishing, there are many excellent anglers that tie there own flies and some are amazing, some people even specialize in just tying flies, yet so many never get mention nor used, it is a tragedy that the older traditional flies are not getting the publicity that they deserve, a big part of the problem is that a lot of fisheries stock little and often and stock bigger fish, meaning that they need a week or so to get acclimatized, and usually they are caught and dispatched by then, yet people do still stick to traditional flies and many fish here, So this passed week has seen Harold Gavin catching using Dry flies hoppers etc, Mr Abernethy again hoppers and dries, P Cachia, Dundee shipman’s buzzers, Bob Hutchison and Josh Simpson Dries and Crunchers, J Selfridge Montanans’ and George Duff, Buckhaven using dry sedges had 4 but was just really having a quiet day, really nice to see Lewis Forsyth, Kirkcaldy Lewis with his dad had 7 all on Sedges and when I spoke with them Lewis was 2 up on his dad, Lewis has become an accomplished angler through hard work and determination and it is fantastic to realize what can be achieved.
