Over the last week the weather has been pretty variable but despite this catches have been quite good. Most anglers are still pulling lures but cormorants – mostly silver body – are taking a lot of fish as are buzzers held up by AFAB. Favourite lures include cats whiskers black cat, ace of spades and dancers both red and yellow.

The fish are well spread out over the loch and all areas are fishable with good water clarity. We continue to stock weekly.
