Fisher is top rod at Millhall

Millhall Reservoir bosses confirmed mixed results at the loch, some anglers had a field day while others struggled for a few fish. Successful tactics ranged from dry flies to diawl bach and buzzer to damsels and other lures and Bill Sutherland confirmed that weed in the loch has 'exploded'. It has restricted fishing to the deeper parts of the water (pictured by Nigel Duncan), but he said there will be a major weed cutting operation in the near future to mitigate this problem. Anglers who have done well at the Polmont-based water included A Burns and B Dewar who returned 14 and 13 fish respectively on FAB and buzzer. T Sharp and R Skillen had seven fish each on dry flies, while W Turnbull and D Frater returned nine fish each, again on dry flies. S Ross managed nine fish on an orange wormit, while J Kelly returned 15 fish, again on dry flies. However, the best return for the week went to M Fisher who had 23 fish on a damsel pattern on an ntermediate line. Nearby, Bowden Springs at Linlithgow have restocked with Tiger and rainbow trout and Linlithgow Loch's top recent rod was Nigel Muckle with 15 fish. Boats are available most days. Allandale Tarn at West Calder closed their bait pond because of the high water temperature but their fly pond is open from 9am to 10.30pm on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Sunday 9am to 8pm. Pottishaw near Whitburn report that Kark Phsteven had nine fish in his session and Morton Fishings have also restocked while Glencorse say they have boats available at the time of writing this. In East Lothian bosses of Newlands Tweeddale say Chris Kerr (Tranent) hooked into ten fish on Fab and buzzer. Finally, the Scottish Canal Championship is on Sunday, June 29 on the Forth and Clyde Canal between Wyndford and Dullatur, fishing 11am to 4pm. Contact Gus Brindle for details on 07812 241816.
