On land, Linlithgow Loch report that 19 boats and 32 anglers were out during the week and 56 fish weighing 173lb were kept and 88 fish returned.
The successful set-ups used floating and Di7 lines with blobs/fabs, buzzers/muskins, diawl bachs, black/green lures, especially Black Mamba, and dries producing the best results.
Tam Easton was among the most successful anglers, returning 15 rainbows, all caught on dries including top hats, in his four-hour session.
Gavin Dunn netted an 8lb brownie trout which was safely returned having taken a hare's ear fly.
Rosyth Dock Yard AC's six anglers kept 16 fish weighing 49lb and Jimmy Russell kept a fish of 4lb 2oz and returned ten while Alan McGregor returned eight trout.
Other successful anglers included Stevie Burke and his boat partner who kept four trout for 12lb 6oz and returned nine while Ian Dobbie released seven trout.
Tom Lambert, secretary, said they continue to restock regularly and boats are available most days for either full-day or four-hour sessions. Call 01506 671753 or book online in advance.
