Changeable weather made for hard fishing at the
spring fly only competition.
There wasn’t a great turnout for the spring fly only competition which kicked off at 9am on Saturday 10th May. There was a very light wind. not a cloud in the sky and a few fish moving.
Within 20 minutes a bitter cold south westerly wind picked up and the fish disappeared and because it was blowing straight into the clay bank and gravel bay the guys that walked over there
had a quick change of plans and came back round to the boathouse side where everyone else started.
In the bright sunshine and strong cold wind there was only 3 trout landed. The wind direction made the north shore, clay bank and dam wall were hard to fish and all fish were caught in Hills Bay.
First place went to Iain Lindsay with 2 fish caught on Apps on a fast glass line, second place with the only other fish of the day was Archie Blair catching his fish on a intermediate line and a hares ear hopper.
There were also a few jack pike caught and John Hughes learned a lesson “always check your knots”
The only fish he hooked took his fly from a badly tied knot.
Future events:
Lake of Mentieth - Sunday 18th May (Full)
Seniors day (Gryffe) - Wed. 21st May

Tough day for the fly only on the Gryffe today with only 5 anglers turning up. There were some torrential downpours and a strong westerly wind which made the dam wall and clay bank unfishable. Top rod went to club chairman Archie Blair catching his 6 fish before midday which gave him a 4lb time bonus, Archie caught his fish on the boathouse shore. Iain Lindsay was 2nd with 2 fish 1 in hills bay and the other at 3:50pm near the boathouse (which shows that you should never give up). 3rd was Derek Barclay 1 fish caught in Stirling bay. The only other fish of the day was caught by Chris Rennie at the fence between the boathouse and hills bay. Well done to everyone who turned up today. Keep any eye on here or check your permits for the next competition.

Report
Good turn out for the final all lures competition of the season. 17 seniors and 4 juniors took part.
Weather looked promising and it started well with club president Archie Blair catching a
rainbow trout on his first cast at the corner of the dam wall. The day went downhill from there on
as the wind picked up and the trout went off the feed. Approximately 10 anglers stayed near the boathouse mostly bait fishing and spinning. Billy Stirling caught 1 trout and Thomas Sneddon
caught 3 pike in this area with not much more action reported here.
The family team of dad Joe, daughter Paignton and son Auston headed to the break water to
fish the float and maggot, they were rewarded with 1 trout each with Auston coming out top
with a nice rainbow trout of 2lb 4.25oz.
Iain Lindsay fished the fly all the way along the south shore round to Corlic Bay and
caught 1 trout at the fence before Hillsbay. Archie also caught another trout in Hillsbay.
The fishing on the Gryffe has been patchy since spring but hopefully it’ll pickup for the
last few weeks of the season in time for the rescheduled fly only competition on Sunday 5th October.
