Hi folks
It was certainly not the most comfortable of weather for fishing this week, but the trout appeared to enjoy the conditions and damsels, cats, buzzers, bloodworm and woven nymphs produced some great sport to the boats.
Lloyd Rattray tempted 16 fish up to 10 lb for his session, Keith Crocket 10 up to 4 lb, Bill Main had a cracking 4 hours with 31 up to 12 lb, Denis Brown netted 11 fish including 2 of approx 10 lb, Sandy Reid had 7 up to 12 lb, Jim Adie 7 up to 8½ lb, Fred McAlley 15 up to 8 lb, Mike Livingstone 8 up to 12 lb, John Chalmers 14 up to 8 lb, Stephen Rankin 10 up to 4½ lb, Jim Finnie 13 up to 10 lb, Mathew Reilly 10 up to 5 lb and Hugh Baxter 10 fish, including one of 12 lb and another of approx 14 lb.
George Murphy netted a nice 10½ lb rainbow, Sandy Nelson also tempted a good fish of approx 11 lb on his trusty Red Hook and junior angler Jay Scott christened his new 4wt rod with a 5 pounder, well done Jay!
