Hi Folks, I have only recently joined here and I am forever asking questions about where to fish :P so I apoligise and also thank everyone who has helped me so far.

I am a total novice fly fisherman but have already picked up a lot of tips from the experts on here.

Just wondering if anyone has any info/experience with trout fishing on Loch Alvie and Jock in the bog (nice name!) in Aviemore? I am basically looking for some relaxed fishing from the bank (not much of a boat person).

I know there was a recent thread about Loch Alvie and Loch insh on here but the replies were more towards loch insh.

Thanks again folks
J

Hello there

I will be fishing both in August and will let you know what we discover, being relative novices this may not be much but we will try!!.

Both venues are brown trout waters.Flyfish for brown trout year round nymphs, wet flies, and dry flies work, but in different ways. Nymphs typically imitate immature insects that live underwater. Dry flies represent insects landing on or falling into the water, while a wet fly represents the same insects after drowning.Having said all that you need to know what flies or insects the trout are feeding on for any chance of success.When you go to one or other of the above venues if there are anglers there ask what they are using. People can tell you what took fish on a particular day but things change rapidly in fishing. What works on one day often dosen't the next.

hi j

is that the one at the far end of aviemore a white house there i fished it a couple of years ago caught nowt there is another on just along from it where the grave yard is use to have two rely nice boats no idea what that ones called then you have the fish farm one some estate plenty fish in there

Dave

The fish farm is at Rothiemurchus. When I fished it, it was so stuffed full of fish, they didn't jump out of the water in case they couldn't get back in again.
However, at the moment (2-3weeks ago), it was only open between 9 and 5, which is pretty pants in high summer.

hi bill

yes that one pitty last time i was there they had early and a late session on do you know what they call the one near the grave yard you had to get a ticket to fish it some miles away

Dave

No, I didn't get to do much fishing round there, being on a fairly short leash from SWMBO.
One bonus of the fish farm was getting some good views of the Ospreys.

loch alvie has some cracking pike in it, 20lb plus! only fished it once before and caught a couple of wee jacks.

Thanks for the replies folks.

Just to confuse matters, I have now been told about Avielochan, which looks like a lovely little small lochan just outside of Aviemore which would probably be more manageable for a novice like myself. I think its a club water but they issue day permits to visiting anglers.

Duckfoot, that sounds like a plan! When in August are you going? I am probably going to be up there fishing around 4 or the 5th so will let you know how I get on.

Millshield, I think the one with the graveyard/tomb is Avielochan, I could be wrong though.

Hi Jamie

I am fishing Insh on 11th Aug, J O B on 13th and Alvie on 17th. Please do let me know how you get on, I need all the help I can get!!.

Regards
