I unfortunately cant make this trip as I,m on duty!! How ever I,have been known to catch the odd trout or six from lintrathen. My guide for what its worth goes like this. From the harbour go left to the bay by the rhoddies, you get fish right along this shore up to about 90yds out, good buzzer water. Its not a bad drift along the shore from the rhods down to the first bay, here there are the remains of a sunken cottage. A few drifts int the island are worth ago, quite deep water (comparitivly) so sinking lines wrk. Behind the island there is a channel that is the old river bed, this runs up past the bird hide. The bay between the tip of the island and the bird hide is worth a shot which ever way the wind's blowing. From the tip of the island right down to the slipway there is a drop off if you can drift along it you should find fish. From the slipway (sawmill) to the dyke is good water there were afew fish there last week. The little loch is not worth bothering about at the moment too much weed. From the gap in the dyke out is decent water. Try drifting out from the corner where the new hide is. You can pick fish up right up to the corner by the small dam. In recent times the midle of the loch has produced fish, this is due to the oxygen system, this is marked by bouys, give it a go even if the things are not on. Be ready to go on the drys early, as soon as you see a fish. Watch the rises cause there are one or two wee brownies in the place, but dont be deceived some of the rainbows make the smallest of dimples. Try dbs and nymphs ,snatchers go well, if you want perch a white lure on an intermediate is alost certain to produce. Have a good day and I,will try and make the next one, how about rescobie?. any one needing more info just ask. jim
