Summer is officially over now and its now Autumn, with this recent cold snap the leaves will start to turn, O boy so it hasn’t been a very good year so far what with the constant winds and it’s still a tad windy, but this has been a great week for fishing, not overly busy but the catches have been good, Darin Taylor returned 7 using an olive CDC, Sandy Band had 8, Jock on 3 plus a perch, Colin Hay out in the evening had 3, with lots of fish chasing great sport, he was out again the next night getting a couple and some perch, Ed Brown on 8 returned + perch “Great sport with nonstop action”, Iain Peddie 3 with S Gunn on 4 CDCs, Pete Hayes a couple of rainbows plenty fish moving, Donald Robertson 2 using a klinkhamer, Mark Chesser 6 all returned yellow owl, and Jim Watson had 5, while Dave Gonsales had 10 on a foam emerger, Sandy Band on 4 CDCs, Rod Thaw again doing well on 18 using a daddy long legs, Geoge Duff having a good day, 10 returned, CDC and emerges, Michael Fairweather after a summer break 15, returned, popper fry, damsels and CDCs two young lads today Sunday, blanked but caught perch. I suppose with all the abnormal weather we should be expecting very heavy rains soon, so I have cleaned out the overflow and the road runoff bund which protects the loch from contaminants, the loch is at 100% capacity with gin clear water and masses of hatching flies, I noticed in the water that there is some blanket algae which is very unusual for this time of year, time for the straw bales again, also there is a fair bit of ground deep water weed, this is great for the flies to hatch in and also good for anchors to get a hold off, Pictures this week by Steve Ayemad Nomad, his attention to small stuff is amazing, plus he loves to photograph jumping fish, also he catches whats happening in and around the loch, funny how the bird photographers all die away especially at the time of year when it is most interesting.
Fly Fishing @ the “Goldenloch” for trout with a home tied Fly, is one the nicest ways to relax the body and the brain, time and time again clients say how relaxing and peaceful fishing here is, a day’s fishing is something to look forward too, many people say a bad day fishing is better than a day at work.
