As the weather fluctuated during the week there was one constant that could be relied upon and that was the ‘okay dokay’ fly. Some were still fishing it on a floating line with a long leader while others chose the intermediate line.
On his two outings during the week, Bill Gibb using his own variation of the okay dokay that he ties himself, had a return of 19 then 20 fish respectively.
Davy Sinclair from Aberdeen had 9 with this fly and Neil Simmers netted 6 also.
It’s very close cousin the ‘buzzer’ also proved effective with Albert Trail getting 10, Graeme McPherson down from Inverness managed 8 for his day and Pete Young landed 4 but had many more tentative takes that got off.
Looking through the returns book-
J Abel on his two outings had 9 and 5 fish respectively on his own micro lure, Matthew Rilly netted 13 fish, one at 9lb and 2 at 5lb on the WSW.
Cormorants also proved their worth with Billy Reid from Newmachar getting 6 fish and S Murdoch with 4.
With milder weather forecast after the short cold snap, here’s hoping everything remains okay dokay for the week ahead’s fishing.
