It\u2019s been back to rotten weather this past week; we have had 3 days of a cold East wind, where the air and water temperature had dropped quite significantly, there has been just the normal horrible windy, gusty days, with one reasonable sheltered day in the middle of the week, so how\u2019s the fishing been, pretty much average I would say, the fish are not really going to start moving or be encouraged to move unless the sun is shinning and I mean 3 or 4 days heat, without the nasty cold east winds, so far this year we have stocked three full stockings, with a fourth\u00a0 due soon, so there are plenty of fish, what is good is that these fish are by lying low, are acclimatising to our wee loch, they are just lying in holts on the floor, or foraging on small bloodworms snails etc, bourne out by the fact that quite a few caught lately have had snails and blood worms attached to them, this is excellent and will be create fantastic sport fishing in the forthcoming warm April days, which are high on most people dream list, small green black \/ yellow flies are the ones or the pretty standard green Diawl Bach, but last night late a gent on a few hours \u201cneed to relax\u201d trip here had several solid pulls and fish on his barbless yellow buzzers, catching 2. On a completely different subject, the history of the \u201cGoldenloch\u201d is a very fascinating story, one that has been hard to find out about, even harder to get hard solid facts, but last week an angler with a flair for historic maps, enlightened me to a map he had found in the archives in \u201cThe National Library of Scotland\u201d so after some examination, this map by John Ainslie, who was a cartographer from 1745-1828 produced a map in 1775 of the \u201ccounty of Fife\u201d and it quite clearly shows the existence of the *Goldenloch* (not its real name as my parents named it in 1985){ it was known as the \u201cWater of Berryhoile\u201d}, this long before highways or railways, only cart tracks and cattle droves, I personally am aware of most of the history as was told by an old farming neighbour but must one day put it all down on paper.<\/p>\n
