I fished Fedderate Reservoir on Saturday , it’s a reasonable size body of water a couple of miles south of New Pit Sligo . Its controlled by the Fraserburgh angling association . Permits are £10 keep 3 fish if desired then catch and release, it has stocked Rainbows and wild Brown Trout , the Brownies grow to a decent size.
Its bank fishing only (pity as its an ideal tubing water) , its never very crowded and most days you will be lucky to meet another angler (or unlucky as the case may be ) it’s a horse shoe shaped loch with a small burn running into each arm. I find the arms are the best fishing.
It was ideal fishing conditions warm , overcast with an incredible hatch of Olives and midges , its one of the few times that they live up to the name buzzes as you could fairly hear the buzz, lucky I had repellent and a midge net with me or I would have been eaten alive.
The fish were rising every where feasting on the olives , it turned out to be a really frustrating day , chucked every thing but the kitchen sink at them but they were fixated on the olives, got one on a dry Greenwells , but that was my lot , twice I was broken off due to my own bad knots , which made it even more frustrating . Still if it was easy every time it would not be so enjoyable when we did get it right.
