Linlithgow Loch Fishery, Catch Report – 03/06/2024 – 09/06/2024

There were 32 boats out over the week, 30 fish were kept, weighing 96 lbs, and 24 were returned. Water clarity is still excellent; however, the bright sunshine and changing gusts have affected the catch rate. The best tactics were: Floating, Midge-Tip with Fast Glass, Di3/5 and Intermediate lines for fishing deeper. Flies doing the taking were Buzzers, Candy Boobies, Diawl Bachs, Muskins, orange Blobs, Fabs, and Cats; also, successful were mini-Lures and Snakes.
