“The Goldenloch”
31-October-2021, Fishery Blog, Week 44.
As far as I can remember there are always floods at this time of year, however so far in this part of the world its not been that bad, yes OK the roads are poor, but a lot of that is due to the lack of council investment ( however we have to be thankful to the guys that are doing the maintenance repairs, if it wasn’t for them imagine how bad it would really be) it’s all about the lack of investment, it’s the same in fisheries, investing in infrastructure is an ongoing situation, we have and continue to invest in our loch, for the future, the water overflow was reinvented some years ago, it can cope with all that can be thrown down, with no loss of fish, we also have and it cant be seen a huge dirty water bund, it catches all the fowl surface water from the steading, roads, generally where contaminated water would affect the water clarity and purity, it works well, yet is still not been tested to its limit (thank goodness) at the far end of the loch where the old hut was, the area has been reshaped, the hard standing is smaller, although the two jetties were removed, a new stronger one will be put back, the bay at the far end still continues to hold nice sized fish, but it is much deeper, it is not fished much now, but it does support a lot of insect life, a favourite spot for the osprey to fish in, so plans there are for some seating, table, and some insect attracting shrubs and trees, not been busy this week due mostly to the poor weather, Ryan as always has caught a few fish, John Bashford having an early start had 4, Rod Thaw 6 all returned, two guys on Thursday in the same boat one had 7 the other had 0 can’t believe don’t they speak to each other, however everyone else that’s been here have all caught fish and had a pleasant time which is the essence of going fishing for the day,
