FISHERY REPORT - 12th December 2011
Summary Of Fishing:
Building an Osprey Pearch
Forecaster predicted gale force winds and extremely heavy rain all weekend with weather and flood warnings posted everywhere, Friday night and Saturday were the worst, but it had all petered out by 3 in the afternoon, however Sunday was positively calm and gave near perfect conditions for fishing, total anglers for the weekend were 2, with Alan Gibson, Bridge of Earn, catching 5 using nymphs, Sam Angus, Perth was fishing for a few hours yesterday and asks that if anyone has seen a olive sage rod case to please hand it in as it was left by accident. This winter it is my intention to erect a pole at the far end of the loch, on the opposite side from the old buckie hut, the purpose of this pole is for an Osprey or bird perch, it will have a platform as well as a strong perch in place for birds to sit on, now that we seem to have quite a few visiting in the summer it seems the best thing to do is fit up this pole, is remarkable how many anglers are interested in wildlife especiall! y birds so hopefully this will allow them to get a few good pictures.

Wildlife Tradgedy
Well, the first week in December at the Goldenloch has probably been the quietest for a long time, mostly due to the weather, however both Saturday and Sunday were nice days, albeit maybe a tad cold, the cormorants are being a bit troublesome with four or five arriving every morning SNH have declined me a Licence to shoot any, on the grounds that, and I quote “On the basis of our own assessment and advice received we feel that there is a lack of information provided” but I gave them the numbers visiting and their regularity, also it goes on to say “SNH can only grant a licence if we have evidence to show that serious damage is being inflicted on a fishery” so marked fish and eaten fish obviously isn’t enough or is it that they just want me to fill in the questions asked in the booklet they sent headed “Licensing Arrangements for Shooting Birds to Prevent Serious Damage to Fisheries” Its basically due to the fact that complete and utter ***** are running this coun! try, we have very little wild bird life left in this beautiful part of North East Fife due to the dummies that are in charge, yes we have a dozen or so Buzzards, three or four Sea Eagles, loads of Cormorants Crows and Jackdaws, but what happened to every thing else we used to have, masses of Robins, Sparrows, Blackbirds, Blue tits, Chaffinch to name a few and our bird feeder is like an abandoned cold war relic, my Father and Mother, both deceased now spent every day in their retirement feeding the wildlife so much so that when visiting them it was like trying to get into a birdcage, they got so much pleasure from doing so, one of my fathers favourite sayings was, “It’s a gie poor man that canny feed the wee birds,” but now that the Government do gooders have reintroduced the top of the tree birds of prey, which basically have eaten everything or scared it away, why what possible good is it doing and who wants Sea Eagles, Buzzards, Cormorants, before set aside and field m! argins we had a balanced nature with an eco system that worked now we have a very unbalanced system with predators bigger and stronger than ever, due to the huge amount of easy food and no one controlling them, I have lived here all my life and see ruin in many forms, but now it’s a real tragedy.

Date: Monday, December 12 @ 13:40:28 UTC
This last week has seen only a few brave lads venture out fishing, due in most parts to the horrendous conditions that were forecast, but again I have to point out that we have had a few glorious days in that period, I would strongly advise that anglers phone and ask what the weather is like, rather than believe what the TV says is going to happen, however on a plus point everyone fishing in the last few weeks have left with fish or returned fish, even on Saturday past when an early angler caught and returned 5 and was then followed by two lads who saw the loch freeze over in a flat calm as they fished from 9 onwards and by 2am saw the water completely clear again, Fly tying, due to some requests earlier in the year, we are putting together a small very informal group of amateur enthusiasts for Fly Tying, that would meet in the fishing hut, say on a Monday for a few hours, this to share ideas and different techniques’ or even just to learn the basics of tying flies, if inter! ested please send me an email on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or phone either 01337840355 or 07968006367 letting me know if you are interested. We are open right through Christmas and New year, purely and simply for the fact that some lads just need to get out and others just want to fish, or even to try out new gear, if you are looking for just couple of hours then feel free to come on up.
