At last, a good week of settled weather and greatly increased activity on the surface and immediately sub surface. Dry and wet flies reigned supreme and pushed the lure fishers into second place. Klink Hammer and small blacks were dominant on the dry fly arena whilst wet flies with black/olive patterns with silver were the best catchers amongst the wet flies.
Messrs Mackay and Davidson, on a day from Inverness enjoyed a successful day with 34 fish all on Bob's Bits.
Best catches for the week were recorded as;
R Davidson, Inverness, 18 fish, Bob's Bits
A Mackay, Inverness, 16 fish, Bob's Bits
G Dewar, Fraserburgh, 12 fish, WSW
P Cowie, Fraserburgh, 9 fish, Spider/Snatcher
P Scott Fraserburgh, S Gibson Falkland and S MacLean Fraserburgh all landed 7 fish for their efforts.
The weather forecast is distinctly "fishy" for the coming week and we hope further good catches can be recorded.
