The fishing over the last few weeks has again continued to be first class with a mixture of large bags and large fish.

The recent weather has seen a huge increase in surface activity and some of the rises seen here over the last few weeks have been nothing short of spectacular. In the evenings fishing dry’s seems to be the answer and cdc’s, loch Ordie and snatchers have all done well throughout the day.

A few mentions from the last week:

Mr Stevens & Mr Macleod, Cumbernauld – 16 all returned. Richard Kenning, Mallaig – 3 for 6lb + 16 returned. D Forbes, P Batchelor – 5 for 16lb 2oz + 12 returned (biggest 8lb 8oz). J Patrick jnr & J Patrick Snr, Kilsyth – 10 for 18lb 4oz + 26 returned. G Sloan & N McNeil, Kilmarnock – 10 for 18lb +19 returned. Largest fish of the week was Kenny Scott from Earlston A.C with a 9lb 2oz Rainbow.

Day two of the World team selection seen the 21 competing anglers take 280 fish.

On this note I’d like to congratulate Calum Crosbie, Willie Leach, Jim Lister, Donald Forbes, Davy Chalmers and Simon Cocker on their performance over the 4 days and winning their places on the team. Not only a great bunch of guys but as good a team as you’ll get.
