Fishing has been steady on the lochs and evening boats have done well overall.Fish are quite active near the surface with kates doing well and smaller nymph patterns.Alex Stronach had 6,Derek Reid 2,Sandy Robertson 4,Bob Bolton 4,Dave Doig 3,Pete Cowie 3,Dan McGlauglin had 2.David Reid had 7 fish and the water being clear its interesting to watch fish come to the fly.Bookings for the loch are a must as it is unlike a commercial water where you can just turn up and fish and all bookings by ringing the Glen only.
