Outing cancelled due to water quality.
Lake of Menteith, 02 November 2023
This outing was rearranged, after the original date was postponed due to storm Babet. And we were blummin’ lucky with the weather, given Storm Ciaran and all that was happening elsewhere this time! Not just that, but the forecast was for a fresh northerly with some rain, and we got ‘light and variable’ and dry…

Glencorse Reservoir, 22 September, 2023
A decided dip in the temperature since our outing to the Watch! A drop of 12-13C in under 2 weeks! However, that was tempered by a cracking ceiling all day long, and a westerly breeze that was never stronger than a decent fishing ripple. The reservoir must have been near top water, given the awkwardness…

Watch Water, 09 September 2023
Mel Mitchell reports… In keeping with all the recent sunny, warm weather we have been having, it was another beautiful early morning drive over the Lammermuirs and down towards Longformacus. There were plenty grouse to be seen flying over the hillside, and others out for an early morning stroll along the roadside. All looking like…

Frandy Reservoir, 02 September 2023

The weather was predicted to heat up during the day, but with intermittent cloud cover. What could possibly go wrong? We had another decent turnout for…

The conditions were very welcome, compared to the strong winds we experienced on the previous outing. I was out with Jimmy Anderson and we…

Lake of Menteith, 19 August 2023
We are deep into competition season on the Lake and it had faced another busy week of practice, ahead of the second Scottish Clubs semi-final on the Friday. Well done to all those teams that have qualified for the final. The results suggested that the fishing had become progressively more difficult over the week. …

Watch Water, 05 August 2023
After a summer pause, our outings kicked-off again at the Watch. July was a fairly wet month and August started off in much the same form, with the forecast suggesting more heavy showers during the day. From a loch-style fishing perspective this has delivered the benefit of plentiful fresh water to keep our lochs and…
