Willowgate trout fishery- The main feature of this weeks fishing has been the very hot summer weather. Whilst providing long awaited relief from the Arctic winter and recent poor summers the fishing has still been good on Willowgate with moth rods managing their limits. Best catches include young Keiran McLean from Balnearay school with a 10lb during AFYD casting instruction. On the 17th Mr McRitchie had 3 for 12 1/2lb and Mr Sinclair had 3 for 15lb. On the 19th Bonnybridge AC had 26 fish for 51lb plus plenty fish returned. S Henry has 2 for 7lb, Mr Smith returned 10 on a C+R ticket. Tactics working well include damsels nymphs, buzzers and dawl bachs. Blobs and lures are still effective for the stockies. Evening sessions are providing some excellent dry fly fishing.
