With the warmer weather, rising fish are now a feature at Artloch, so it comes as no surprise to learn that a significant number of bows have been taken on dries this past week. However, it's not any dry, but a size 16 or smaller and coloured either black or dark olive. Besides dries, emergers, buzzers and various nymphs have also done well taking some nice fish in the 5 to 8lbs range. Examples of returns include Tim Sampson who during a short visit released 7 all on dries, best at 4lbs, while M Mitchell tempted 10 and J Mitchell 12 on buzzers. Visitors B Moore and I Cope released 11 and 12 repectively, both used nymphs and buzzers with best at 5lbs.
Saw first sedge on Sunday....seemed a bit unsteady on it's feet though!
