“The Goldenloch”
14-June-2021, Fishery Blog, Week 24.
On Monday, the 7th and Tuesday 8th , the weather i.e. direction of the wind changed, it started coming from the East, West and South, virtually all at the same time, the hatches which were happening in the morning, afternoon and evening pretty much ceased, the swirling wind was to blame, sadly it made that event happen, spoiling what was terrific fishing, as chaps were really enjoying the dry fly fishing, all was not lost however as the wonder fly the “ Yellow Owl” save the day as did Diawl Bachs, catches haven’t been in such big numbers but the Mondays fishing was good Rod Thaw had 14, on Buzzers, Grant McGregor 15, Buzzers, Olive nymph, alder fly, John Basford 7 keeping 2, John Souter from the bank 3 on silver Invicta’s, Brian Imrie 5 on dry flies, Billy Moyes got 2 alas his boat partner Neil Christie blanked, On the Sunday Stewart and lee had a fun day masses of offers 4 caught 6 returned, Tuesday was the start of the more difficult fishing people still catching but not so many Alec Cuthbert had 5 and A Morgan had 6, Wednesday was a repeat of Tuesday however Jim Anderson had 6 using a yellow Owl, Jim Souter only 1, Eddie Henderson 2, the air pressure lifted on Friday and there was a good improvement Sandy Band from the bank had 4, S Cameron had 5, 1 Blue 1 Brown 3 rainbows all on CDCs, Derrick Robertson on the bank had 7, It was a very windy weekend but the fishing was greatly improved, what is making the fun and giving a lot of pleasure is that the fish are actively chasing flies and in some cases hanging onto them, Grant McGregor with his new rod found this out as he returned 7, with a few anglers on catching 2 fish that they kill then leave because they don’t like to Catch and Release, it is good to see the quality trout this year, however with the increase in Osprey numbers this year fish with wounds are inevitable please do not be put of by these fish and if it is bad please dispatch same Thank You
