Two weeks of a cold easterly air flow with no precipitation = hard going for the start of the fishing season, however our anglers braved the cold and had some really nice returns.
Stephen Sweeny (Moodiesburn) C/R 4 nice fish all on Blob Buzzers, Mark Love (Airdrie) C/R 3 fish on Black Buzzers, John Grant (Bannockburn) landed 2 nice fish for 5lb 2oz on a Yellow and Black Fritz. The Rosyth Angling Club had a great day catching 48 fish with 23 Rods using traditional and a colourful selection of flies/lures. George Watson (Bonnybridge) C/R 3 Rainbows all on a barbless Kate McKlaren, Bob Grant (Rosyth) took home a cracking Blue Trout 3lb 3oz caught on a Corixia, Bert Nelson (Carluke) had a nice Rainbow 2lb 2oz on an Okey Dokey, Cameron Cowan (Stirling) landed a Rainbow 2lb 2oz on a White & Orange Nomad.
Our visiting Osprey also had some great sport. What an awesome spectacle and always welcome.
Warmer weather is forecasted, so let’s enjoy the Easter weekend and don’t forget we are open and fully stocked with Grade “A” Rainbow & Blue Trout.
