This week the weather has really bugged us with consistently low temperatures and a changeable wind coming mainly from the North - North East. Despite this, good catches have been returned including:
M MacPherson, Lhanbryde 24 fish to 4.5lbs Cormorant
A MacPherson, Lhanbryde 14 fish to 3.5lbs Lures
A Davidson, Inverness 12 fish to 2.5lbs Bob's Bits
K MacKay, Inverness 15 fish to 3lbs Buzzers
G MacKay, Inverness 12 fish to 2.5 lbs Buzzers
R Donald, MacDuff 14 fish to 6lbs Dry - Buzzers
B Gray, Largue 10 fish to 4lbs Dry - Bunny Leech
C McPhee, Peterhead 21 fish to 3.5lbs Wooly Worm
From the end tackle selection we can see that the fish were feeding at times near the top and at other times much deeper. The bigger fish were staying very deep and were quite lethargic. This weeks weather appears to be much of the same with improvement (possibly) at the weekend.
Jonathan, who you all know, enjoyed a full day in his float tube with moderate success - brave man, isn't he.
It looks like the dry fly box will remain in your pockets for a few days yet and do not pack away the lures until we get a rise in temperature and a change in wind direction.
Tight lines to you all
