Lochore Meadows Fly Fishing Forums

Lochore has a peculiar history. Historically there was a loch on this site which was drained in 1792 to improve farming ground in the region. Subsequently, the spoil dumps from local mining and related subsidence eliminated any possible for agriculture, and nature, with a human helping hand, reasserted itself. Now we have a 1st-class 260 acre fishery, a country park, and an important civic amenity in an area which isn’t overly endowed with recreational buildings. (maximized.co.uk)

Buzzer fishing was remaining on Scotland’s fisheries this year and the team adopted this technique which resulted in Scotland’s Ladies success. Under the management of Alan Hill, with Anne Boyce as Captain, the team has worked very hard for this result.   With those who went to Grafham for the pre-match visit in May all catching fish on the day, as well as top rod Dione Roberts Scotland with 7 fish for 511 points. Rhian Taylor Wales came second with 6 fish for 469 points and 3rd in general and second placed Scottish rod was Morag Wallace Scotland with 6 fish for 447 points . (sana.org.uk)

Again i flies as i have received more flies from them, the quality of the flies is top class good tying and good looking materials seem to be used if you’re still considering topping up tour fly box why not give island flies a turn. As we look forward to the conventional start to the season now just over a month away for some of the rivers. The bigger lochs open in April and I am sure I’ll have some news from them for next months news. If haven’t already done so get the fly boxes out and give them a spring clean its surprising how quickly you’ll feel the fishing bug bite. (fishingaround-scotland.com)

If anybody fancies a break with their dogs I can completely recommend the Portsonochan Hotel.  We had booked our bed & breakfast ‘deal’ at Crufts and as we were taking the dogs with us they put us in a self-catering apartment rather than a hotel room which was great.  more room.  The dogs are welcome over in the hotel as long as they’re on a lead.  It did not matter that we were not attached to the other end! And as long as we were eating in the lounge or bar they may be there too.  The Manager used to breed/work GSPs and loves Munsterlanders so they were really spoilt. (workinghprs.myfastforum.org)

He good weather. A haven for wild Birds with Vane Farm on the south side of the Loch. The water is quite high now with the sluice gates at the East end flowing fast into the Cut. It’s a while since I have seen the cut so high. Round at the Birley Sands there were 20 cars in the car park with only a couple of families on the shoreline. The rest clearly out walking. The scenic views make this one of the outstandingly beautiful Lochs in Scotland with Kinross House facing on to Loch Leven Castle. Round at the West pier the boats are out of the water being renovated and the still water in the harbour was a sheet of ice. (tripadvisor.com.au)
