Hi Adam

I haven't got a specific date for opening the fishery, I am keeping a close eye on the brownies over the winter and will open when I think conditions are right for them. I expect this to be more or less at the beginning of March, but it may possibly be a little earlier than that depending on the weather etc.

Best wishes

Midmar
Fish with the wind in your face if its "warmish" and use small black buzzers close to the edge. Have had fish a couple of feet from the bank.

Been a few rising fish, they have been taking small black parachute style flies.

Have had some fun on surface pulled/dibbled Bibios and the like.

If its a cold wind, use an intermediate and pull back buzzers slowly.

Seems to work for me...

Had a few guys in the shop who've fished recently and had a good enough day.  THink they were catching on lime green buzzers.

Excellent stuff Mike will see you then.

Any news on how loch inch is doing

[Kev Danby]

I fished Loch Insch on Christmas Eve with mini me

I hooked em, he reeled em in, alas he has been watching John wilson dvd catch sharks on the skeleton coast so it took a while before he stopped pumping the rod.

He lasted an hour or so before he got cold. In that time we had seven fish I stayed on and had 17 in total all on black buzzers I could have had more but stopped after 3 hrs.

Apart from Loch insch alot of the water was still frozen but the weed has died down and the fish were in cracking condition (all around 2lb). I dont know if it was because of christmas eve but that day there was one other chap fishing so in effect we had the whole place to ourselves perhaps not good for business but made very pleasant fishing.

Still not convinced the stocking density is as high as it was but there are fish to be had just a bit more challenging to catch.

We used a 4wt 8ft6 fulling mill gold (a returning forum member might remember that rod) two #12 buzzers.
