Down Lochter way last week, it was too early in the season for the buzz of bees to be the talking point, but the quickening emergence of the humble buzzer as a source of food interest to the fish, was.
Many of the takes could be quite sudden and savage so you really had to have your wits about you at all times.
Ryan Wilson fished buzzers in combination with cormorants on a hover line and it served him well netting 14 fish for his session including a 12lb rainbow from the Muckle Troot loch.
Fishing trio of buddies, Ian Sutherland, Graham Taylor and Harry Watt all used buzzers in combination with either blobs or eggs and Ian had 12 fish, Graham 10 and Harry 7 for their fine efforts.
Also doing well on buzzers were Colin McDonald with 12 fish, Albert Cowie with 11 fish, Jim Gilmore with 9 fish and Mike Donovan on 7 fish.
Other flies used during the week were white minkies which got Mike Skene 16 fish, hothead and blue flash damsels which gave Barry Morgan 16 fish, green and black mini lures which gave Stuart Howie 15 fish and the white cats whiskers which got John Smith 9 fish.
With a bit of heat and high pressure forecast for the week ahead, as well as taking your buzzer box, you might add a few dry flies as there will be certain times in the day when they will no doubt work a treat.
Now there’s something to look forward to.
Tight lines,
