Overcast and a good ripple on the loch. Fish were high up in the water and were
really on.
First fish in the morning went to Andy Boylan with
20 seconds on the clock. First fish after lunch went to Tam Jarvie on his 1st
cast. 30 rods landed 260 fish for the day. 22 double figure fish were landed
with 3 fish around the 20lb mark. Rod average was 8.6 fish. All anglers caught

Apps worms were the best fly today. Damsel, rabbits and flies under the bung accounted for a lot of fish also. Loads of fish were also lost and a few anglers were snapped off by the bigger fish.

Parkview Fishery Fundraiser
For the 2024 International Loch Teams
Saturday 3rd February 2024
Spring Team member Wullie Simpson once again organised a fundraiser at Parkview Fishery and the twenty one anglers had to contend with a strong gusting wind that blew throughout the day. It almost looked liked a re-run of the 2023 fundraiser with ten of the competitors that were there last year turning out again for this one. There was no change at the top with the competition being won for the third year in a row by by Brian Mackenzie who netted 11 fish.
In second place with 6 fish was Alan Harvie (3rd at Cleughern last year) and in third, also with 6 fish, was Ronnie Gilbert (fourth last year). In fourth place with 5 fish plus a bonus fish was last year's third Neill Barrett. Neill's bonus fish was also the biggest fish of the day.

The teams wish to thank Angus Angling and Fishers and the many others who provided prizes along with the peg sponsors Recovery & Breakdown Kinglassie; French Vehicle Services; Ormiston Transport Training; Parkview Fishery; Watson Caravans; Smith Street Motors; Camelon Decorators; Ormiston Law Practice; James Brown Motors; David Bonnington Joinery and Craig Barr Flash Attack Flies.
