At the “Goldenloch” on Saturday, we had a strong really cold East wind, then the wind dropped completely and flat calm prevailed, now what was interesting was the fishing was much better during the wind Mr Gourlay Jnr had 7 on black and green, Mr Gourlay Snr caught 4 everything returned, Rod thaw on 8 his buddy Dave Wison had 2, Mr Fairweather had 4, 2 on a black cruncher 1 on a tequila blob and 1 on a foam Daddy, J Bashford on 2, the day before Jock Souter back from his adventures had 1 on a foam daddy, Sandy Band had 3 , now my beginner camping crew with there glow in the dark set ups G Riddel 1 and G McDuff 1 rainbow, C McLay 1 on a cormorant Orange, now seemingly someone said that this awkward fishing season is all over, that the fish are back up on top and feeding normally, that there are feeding fish everywhere well that’s not happening here, we still have fish that are only being caught sub surface, or rather let me correct this by saying that fish are getting caught usually by using dry flies, but the fish are taking them from underneath, the Perth and District Well Being Group back up to full strength had a great day on Thursday, Martin 1 on a fab, Shergar 2 with 1 killed, Lizzy getting loads of offers, but they all had a great day, as did D McLeary C Egan-Wylie, plus Les Mitchel and Kisty Cambell with her perch, Jim Anderson on 5, 3 with CDC and 2 on Buzzers, what I will say is that no matter what the fish are up to, the single most important thing is that the clients visiting have had a fantastic day, and pretty much this is what is happening as most write that in the book.
