Another couple of tons of quality brown trout were stocked mainly to the south shore drifts and the Portnellan shore. There was a significant improvement in weather conditions with the wind changing from the east to south west.

Jim Milne from Alloa fishing with Sam Waddle of Falkirk had a very successful day on Wednesday taking 13 for the boat and released at least as many with the largest being just under 2lbs. Stevie O’Neill and Ronnie Robb from East Kilbride had good top of the water sport at the Green Banks.

Club outings got underway on Sunday with the Dalvennan Fly Fishers from Ayrshire being the first club out. Although very windy at times they had superb sport mainly at the sheltered south shore drifts. Ian and Marion Wallace fishing as Dalvennan guests had the best boat with 9 fish. They started on DI 3’s but moved up to Ghost Tips and reported numerous offers with brownies leaping out of the troughs.

The Scottish Youth team held a practice day on Sunday when the high wind speeds gave them great experience in handling boats in difficult conditions.
