CORBY LOCH FISHING

The fishing on the Loch has reverted to PRIVATE fishing, as the Balgownie Fishing Syndicate no longer operates at the Loch .

Anybody found fishing the Loch will be appropriately dealt with.

This years crops.

The crops sown earlier are beginning to appear in the cultivated fields.

It has been a warm late Spring/early Summer day in Aberdeen today. Most of the Spring flowers are still in bloom and the occasional butterfly has appeared. The Blue Tits have claimed the nest box for another summer.

The Predators

A Cormorant – the last bird anglers want to see at any waters containing fish. They will travel miles inland from the coast to feed until they can barely fly. Corby Loch is less than two miles from the sea ‘as the crow (Cormorant) flies‘ and there are regularly several ‘fishing’ through most of the year. One positive note there are obviously fish in the Loch!

A sign of warmer weather

With some warmer sunny spells the Seven Spot Ladybirds have appeared early in the garden.
