“The Goldenloch”
20-June-2021, Fishery Blog, Week 25.
This last week has been pretty awesome, some daft silly things happen but that’s life, for example, I lent a rod to someone, OK, it was a donated rod, but the guy on finishing fishing gave it back and it is now a five section where it used to be a four, Grr, I went to lend a beginner some flies, only to discover that the person I lent them to last week never returned them, Grr, I must say that 15 people, beginners and youngsters, have benefited from anglers generosity, also some lads, a few, have benefited from donated fly tying stuff, If you have extra fly tying equipment there is always a home for it, PLEASE also if you have to many flies and need a clear out, genuinely I have people that can make excellent use of them, just pop in a bag and post to me John Nicol, Clatterwallops House, Berryhill Farm, Newburgh, Fife, KY146HZ, however just now I am very pleased with the loch, most of the weed is under control, where there is weed, it is where I want it, weed is good it prevents Blue Green Algae, 40+ years have taught me that, bales of straw have to be at the decomposing stage to be worthwhile, however the floating straw can be a nightmare, so how is it fishing, during the hot spell Monday till Friday absolutely brilliant with early morning feeding at say 5 > 7 am again rises all day, intermittent and a very good evening rises, Saturday morning saw a massive drop in air pressure + a change in wind direction ( Lots of wind Directions ) but what is happening is weird lots of fish are showing, moving on the surface but are not interested in flies presented, Rod Thaw was extremely disappointed that he could not catch any fish even although he had fished well the day before and had loads, however just after he left Grant Mc Gregor started catching as did D Forsyth on the bank with son Lewis had 3 for 6lbs plus returned 3, Ali Radhi 3 Returned on Buzzers, J Petrie fish/camping 3 for 5lbs plus returned 6, Colin Clark today, 2 for 4 Lbs and returned 3, Brian Kemp had 7 on Buzzers, Ross Cameron 2 returned plus a brown trout, Donald Robertson 1, Neil Christie 4, Colin hay 10, Derek Robertson 12, Brian Imrie 6 on Buzzers, the fishing is great and most importantly people are enjoying themselves what more can one say.
