The new Coffee Shop is now at the fishery serving a variety of hot drinks including Italian Coffees, Hot Chocolates and Teas.  

All 3 lochans are fishing well for fly fishermen and bait anglers.  The average trout weight was 3lb 2oz.  Many fish in the 4lb –5lb range were caught.  

Fly fishers are finding a floating line worked best with dancers, buzzers, nymphs and lures.  Bait anglers found spinners, powerbait and maggot worked best.

Two double figure specimens were caught – A nice 12lb 4oz rainbow for Mr Harper (Camelon) in his 5 for 24lb and a nice 11lb rainbow from the bait pond using Spinners for Mr Collins (Dunblane) in his 3 fish for 16lb. One Yellow £50 Prize Tag was caught this week.
