fishing glen tannar
« on: 28/03/2012 at 21:59 »
Hello,

I am planning my annual birthday fish and decided on glen tannar trout loch. Has anyone fished it recently ? how was it?
Any hint and tips for end of April ?
I am hoping to fish dries but usually a bit of a nympher.

Cheers Adam.

Normaly I would say April is a bit early for GlenTanar, BUT, with the weather we have had it may fish.

I am not an expert on the place but I have always done well on small spiders, shuttlecock buzzers and a wee special dry flie that Mr Cameron showed me. Now that works very well indee..but thats on the secret list ;)

GUAN GUAN GUAN.............. you know you wanna tell.
Well we all have our wee secrets and I have a few myself, will post with bragging rights in a few weeks ( I HOPE!! )

I've never had much luck with shuttlecock buzzers, in fact I don't understand why peolple rate them, I suppose it's just because i've bad luck with them, I'd fish a klink over any suspender type fly anyday.

Cheers

First off check when they stocked it.
After that you'll need...
Damsel nymph of some description
Klink
buzzer type deal
Blood worm heavy thing (on the drop)
Emerger thangs
Little wind
Fine nylon
two anchors
And a camera if it's a nice day

Tight lines dude! :z12

Yup - what Euan says covers it for me :cool:
Heavy buzzers or maybe a bloodworm under a dry work....errr.... everywhere but did particularly well at Tanar for me in the past.
If that doesn't work, then a damsel works wonders :z17
Never done well on the top at Tanar, except for one or two evenings.

There was a while that I did. Re-invented the shuttlecock emerger and had a ball, flat or lumpy!
Happy days  :z4
Mind you I do have some new klink-esque things that will hit the water soon that I'm pretty sure that Tanar will love!
