Linlithgow Loch Catch Report – 12/05/2025 –18/05/2025

Over the week, 42 boats and 69 anglers were out; 47 fish weighing 143½ lbs were kept, and 88 fish were returned, the continuous hot sunny weather making catches harder. The successful set-ups used floating, midge-tip and Di7 lines with orange blobs/fabs, buzzers, Diawl Bachs, black Mamba’s, black & green lures, dries including daddies and hedgehogs.
