🎣 Wormit Weekly Report – Week Commencing 14th April 2025

Another cracking week at Wormit Trout Fishery with top-drawer sport, great company, and quality fish in numbers. Despite a few stiff breezes and cooler mornings, the loch delivered in style — and the rod average is still sitting comfortably well over 10 per angler.

🎯 Angler Reports & Catch Highlights

Scott Doig made his first return to Wormit in 25 years and was blown away:

“Beautiful day in beautiful settings. We had around 30 between the two of us, all straight-lining buzzers and cormorants. Excellent work guys!”

David Simpson & Brian Sutherland had a classic Wormit day, with 23 to the net between them and plenty more lost.

“Great day, cracking sport!”

Dylan Thomas-Daniels and his team from Wales fished over two days:

“Warmest of welcomes again from Greig. We went naturals — Diawls early on a slow inter, fast inter and snakes later. Ended on 25 and everyone else had great bags. Fantastic fishery — would definitely recommend!”

Their Thursday group session saw 70+ fish landed between five rods, with Tony & family from England also having a stormer.
Floaters and Diawl Bachs were the go-to early, with intermediates and snakes doing damage later on.
Top fish came in at 6lb.

Massive thanks to Scott & Fred for helping out with beginners — proper Wormit spirit.

Craig Horsburgh added 15 to the net on Saturday — a regular showing consistency.
Junior regulars Harris MacLeod & Mack Thomson had a cracking evening, working as a team and landing multiple fish.
FS Doig & R Lumsden both finished in the teens.
Other notable returns:
- Ryan Clarke – 2 fish, both personal bests
- D. Anderson – 3
- M. Tracy – 4
- Fred Simeons – 5 fish on that scruffy sunburst FAB of his, fishing into darkness by the bench.

“Finicky fish near the burn mouth weren’t committing, but they switched on later. All taken near the bench into darkness.”

Mary Ann (USA), aged 81, closed her Scottish fishing adventure with a guided session at Wormit via Alba Game Fishing. She landed some superb fish under the guidance of Bob McAndrew — a brilliant way to finish a two-week trip. Hats off!

🌦️ Weather Report (UK Units)

Last week brought bright sunshine, cold starts, and the return of the easterly wind. That said, it stayed stable overall and set the scene for:

Consistent buzzer hatches
Evening surface sport in the calm
Air temps between 8–12°C

This week’s forecast looks promising, with lighter winds and rising temps — expect buzzer sport to ramp up again midweek.

🐟 Fishery Update

Bumper stocking: All fish between 3.5–6lb, hard-fighting and in top shape.
Rod average: Consistently over 10
Fish average size: 3.5–4lb
Clippings on the surface? That’s our grass carp, munching their way through early weed growth like machines. Great to see them up basking in the sun.
