Carron Valley Fishing Report – July 07.
July has yet again seen some excellent sport at Carron Valley, many large bags taken, with the majority of fish being caught on hoppers, muddlers, daddies and various dry flies.
Fishing reports generally concentrate on the numbers of fish caught, and while we continue to have an extremely high average per angler (see below) what we often miss out on is the quality of the fish. The one constant since we opened this season has been the comments received from anglers about the quality of the trout we stock, with many anglers saying they are the best quality trout they’ve caught anywhere.
I have copied an extract from an e mail received on Tuesday this week from a gentleman who almost never fishes for anything other than wild fish.
Hi Fraser,
Just wanted to say how impressed I was today by the quality of your rainbow trout. The most perfect rainbow trout I have caught anywhere. At just under two pounds, silver as a sea trout, full tail and fins, firm muscular and fighting fit, as close as you'll get to the real thing outside North America. I only wish I had had the camera with me.
Some July catches:
R Stanovitch – 6 for 13lb 8oz
Newton Stewart AC – 19 RT for 41lb & 13 BT for 7.5lb + 13 returned
B Turpie & R McKinlay – 12 for 23lb 6oz & 17 returned
Mr McNeil – 6 for 14lb 8oz & 7 returned
Aberdour A C – 20 RT for 43lb & 3 BT for 3lb + 60+ returned
S Montgomery – 9 for 18lb 10 oz + 12 returned
J Dunbar (3 in boat) – 18 for 54 lb + 11 returned (largest fish 11 lb 6 oz)
Lochinch AC – 28 for 55lb 10 oz + 15 returned
We’ve also seen a large number of Blues being caught recently and have a pic on the website of another person in the news recently…..John (Smeato) Smeaton with a lovely blue at 4lb 7oz.
