Week Ending 16th may2010

 

The very cold conditions for this time of year have kept the fish deeper than usual. Deep fished lures and nymphs have scored well but on the better days buzzers have succeeded. Thankfully we now seem to be getting a warmer spell and things are looking up for top of the water action with Hawthorn being an indispensible pattern in the coming weeks.

 

Mr Diamond, Glenrothes, had the heaviest fish of the week at 11lb 7oz taken on a Damsel pattern. Mr Duncan, Kinross, had 4 for 13lb on Buzzers, and Mr Docherty, Glenrothes, also used Buzzers to good effect taking 3 for 7lb 11oz. Mr Cowan, Muckhart, had 5 for 11lb on Dancers, and Mr Gonzales, Auchtermuchty, had a good day with 4 for 10lb 5oz (plus 5 returned ) mainly to Damsels and Buzzers. Visiting angler Mr Routledge, Newcastle, took 3 for 7lb 11oz, on Yellow Dancer whilst Mr Peat, a regular from Kirkcaldy, had 3 nice ones for 10lb on Nymphs.
