Glen of rothes trout fishery
There was only a wee blip middle of the week where it turned colder and fish switched off but either end of the week fishing continued to be steady and fish were to be found not out in the middle of the waters but close in at the edges.This is where experience comes in and rather than just cast straight away it pays to hang your flies for a few seconds as fish will follow and take last minute.Colour white took over from bthe black and was quite consistant for most.Gavin Addison had a great day with 12 fish on buzzers with fish of 7lb 8ozs and also 5lb 13ozs and returned one of 8lb plus,John Watt landed a 7lb 12ozs fish,Paul Keir had 12,Ian Storey had a fish of 5lb 6ozs,Richard Watkin had a Tiger trout,Gary Stewart had a fish of a lifetime a Brown trout of 8lb plus (estimated)Ian Savage a 4lb 1oz,Ian Wilson had a Tiger trout,Bob Mann had a tiger of 4 lb plus,JimEddie had a fish 8lb,Jimmy Rhind had 24 for his session with a nice tiger of 2lb 8ozs returned,Kev Middlemiss had 10,Chris Johnstone had 8 best at 4lb 1oz,Gary Gormley had 8 with his best at 6lb 14ozs.
