🎣 Catch Report – W/C 11 June 2025
🎯 Catch Highlights
- Raemoir Fishing Club: 61 fish landed between 10 rods — average of 6.1 fish per angler. Fish ranged from 3.5lb to 8lb, with every angler catching. Described as “off the scale” and “a day to remember and repeat – 10/10.”
- Scott Pozzi: 10 fish landed in a varied and active session — fish were full of fight and clearly on the feed.
- Geneva Group: Corporate event with BBQ, drinks, and on-site cooking. While new to fly fishing, the team embraced the full experience and landed several fish throughout the day.
- David Ramsay: 9 fish on Thursday evening — rainbows between 2–3lb on small nymphs and FABs. A strong session despite a cooler breeze from the northeast.
🌊 Water Conditions
- Temperature: 14.5°C — ideal for active fish and strong returns.
- Clarity: Great — boreholes flowing and margins clear. Ideal for sight fishing and top-of-the-water work.
- Weed: No major issues — Lake Shadow still suppressing deeper growth effectively. Any floating weed debris at the edges gets skimmed off, usually on windier days.
- Observations: Gutted fish contained high numbers of pond snails — a clear sign of rich feeding and a healthy ecosystem.
🪱 Tactics & Top Flies
- Buzzers & Diawl Bachs: Size 12–14 on floaters and slow intermediates continue to score well.
- Hothead Damsels: Fast strips and figure-of-eight retrieves taking aggressive fish mid-column.
- FABs & Nymphs (washing line): Reliable all over the loch, especially in evening sessions.
📦 Stocking Update
We topped up with 120 fish last week, averaging 3.5lb — including browns up to 8lb and rainbows up to 6lb. Another top-up is due shortly, including more heavyweights in the 8 – 9lb region to keep things lively.
🌦️ Weather Outlook
- Thursday: Dry with sunny intervals, light breeze, high of 15°C
- Friday: Cloud building, light showers late on, 14–16°C
- Saturday: Bright start, risk of scattered rain in the afternoon, 17°C
- Sunday: Mostly sunny and settled — ideal conditions (TBC)
