Weather makes sport tricky
THE RECENT weather has made fishing somewhat more difficult at Forbes of Kingennie with high pond levels and large amounts of silt discolouring several of the ponds, notably the Boathouse and Bankside.
This has reduced visibility and resulted in the main catching method being lures. However, prior to the rains there had been some reasonable catches taken on nymphs (Diawl Bachs, Okay Dokay and Pheasant Tail) especially on the Burnside.
The largest fish of the week was a beautifully marked rainbow of 11lbs 4ozs from the Boathouse taken by Mr Hammond. Several others over 6lbs were also landed.
In addition to these there was a substantial number of 3lbs-plus rainbows caught in the Bankside, again mainly on lures (black and green being the preferred colour combination). The high water levels have stirred up some big fish with noted specimens in the Bankside and Woodside any legal method pond.
Fresh stocks of rainbow trout were held back until levels dropped but these have now been added. They are solid fish in prime condition and should produce some excellent sport.
