20/08/12 - Swanswater, Stirling

Since North Third is closed for the 2012 season I thought I would give a local fishery a try.

I have known about this fishery for a while now but didn’t really bother about it until I took up fishing.
It’s set on lovely surroundings away from busy traffic and you can hire out row boats.
I spent 6 hours fishing and heard from a variety of sources that it can be a very difficult place to fish.

I started out on the East side of the island across the bridge and caught a Tiger Trout very early on with a red fritz gold head lure/buzzer.  This fish gave some fight and weighed approximately 2.5lb (from what I can remember).
Managed to get another on my line but lost it along with the fly I c

Also caught quite a nice sized Perch as well from the West side of the island and returned this to the water.
The rest of the day I blanked L

I really like the location of Swanswater and surrounding area, but the road in is one of the worst.
