“Goldenloch”
January- 20th– 2019, Week 3
Its not quite the cold days they said it was going to be, with the water temperature at 4 degrees, it is 2 degrees warmer that the 20th of November, its been like this for nearly three weeks, the fishing has responded well and the fish are being most active near the edges, about 2 to 4 meters out, it would seem that they are feeding on bloodworms, Corixa, boatmen, larva, nymphs, all of which can be seen in the water easily, also a fair bit of activity around the straw bales that were put in against next years algae, most catches are into great numbers, Stephen Smart 5 returned, bloodworm / green nymph, Brian Kemp 10, Brian Stewart 8, A Cuthbert 10, A Morgan 10, George Murphy 12 released, E Gibson 10 released, Shan O’Hara 3 plus 1 returned, George Duff 8 returned all this on top of last weeks fishing which was very similar, so some would think I make up these reports but genuinely its out the book, the reason I say this is because Tuesdays fishing was really poor, Sandy Drummond catching 1 on a black cat, A Ferguson only managing 1 and D Lees blanked, there was a breeze and it was out the East it just made things hard and difficult but one chap having a great day was Stewart Milne, a regular and a man that always enjoys a full days fishing, Stewart returned 10 fish and had one that he says was easily 10lbs, not removed from the water but his barbless hook removed in the net, this fish which I have no reason to doubt what he has said, has obviously been in the water for a few years, had a great fight in it, I am genuinely pleased that he caught this fish for as a regular he deserved it and it shows that there are some good solid older fish in the water, we have been a fishery for a long time its bound to be that there are old fish in there.
