“The Goldenloch”
07-11-2021, Fishery Blog, Week 45.
November days are here again, yesterday Sunday, it was a glorious day, however the forecasters again got it completely wrong, we have had very little wind, also it was warm for a short time, and the fish were on form, the 1st time was from 9am till about 11am, then later in the day about 3pm till 4.30pm, Scott Fraser fishing with his brother were getting fish at these times and in the morning when the rise started both caught a fish within seconds of each other, his uncle who had brought them here fished from the boat close to the bank and caught 7 all returned Ali who I haven’t seen for a few months had a great day keeping 3 and returning a few, commenting that the fish gave a great fight the best he has had all season, the wind was coming from the East all day and traditionally the fishing is poor in this type of wind but it also allowed George Duff to fish from the point at the water outlet, getting 5 all returned all from the top of the water using dry flies, I understand that the emphasis now for fishing is on catching as many fish as possible, so many people are now using egg flies, wotsits, blobs and bungs, my attitude has changed towards the using of these flies, if that’s what anglers need to use to catch fish, then that’s what it has to be, I have tried perhaps for to long to keep the traditional type fishermen to only use flies, as in what can be found naturally, the success of another fishery locally is completely down to the ability to catch huge amount’s of fish using virtually what ever creations a fly tyer can invent, its all sad but true, but here at the “Goldenloch” we still will strive to keep the finest quality fish that can be purchased and with Rainbows, Brown, Blue and Tiger Trout on the agenda anglers still have the task of catching them, today Monday 8th there is very little wind that is coming from the SE it is 6 degrees outside, todays pictures are from my library, see ya soon.
Fly Fishing is a Pastime, it is not only relaxing, but also rewarding, both mentally and physically, come to the “Goldenloch” enjoy your Hobby to the max, no stress, only tranquil surroundings abundant wildlife, great fish, Brown, Blues and Rainbows, you will not be disappointed.
