The water in the loch is very low still, however that has not deterred the sports anglers and we have had some good catch reports this week.

James Randalls from Grangemouth caught a magnificent 2lb brown trout from the north bank using a maggot.

Reece Gibson from Bo’ness - fishing from the bank at east Lodge has been trying all week for a big pike.  He tells me he has a few runs but his best has been a 11lb junior.  His best trout this week was also a junior a 1lb trout with a maggot.

Raymond Clarke from Paisley caught a 15lb pike using mackerel bait from the north bank and Thomas Krawec from Edinburgh caught an 8lb, 10lb and a 14lb pike from the boat.

All fish were returned to the water unharmed.

 We are at present continuing to work on ou fishery stategy and policy.  I expect to finalise this towards the end of July, when the final results of the Loch survey have been analysed.

The National Park Rangers are continuing to monitor behavious on our banks and they seem to be relatively hapy that we are striving to encourage sports anglers and families to our Loch and that we are discouraging anti-social behaviour.

Our biggest complaint at the moment is the amount of litter left behind.  Please help with this problem.

 Enjoy the Fishing.
