Back on the bank after a week away, and the fishery is absolutely firing. 🎣

Water is gin-clear at 13–14 Β°C, the boreholes are running flat out, and the loch is sitting at a lovely height. With the Summer Solstice on Saturday, you are looking at close to 18 hours of fishable daylight this week. There are not many fisheries in Scotland where that sentence applies, so make the most of it.

The pattern this week has been clear. Mornings and evenings are where the action is:

πŸŒ… Morning – washing line with FABs and size 14 buzzers, fish right up in the surface film from first light.
πŸŒ₯ Afternoon – fish drop to 2–3 ft, so go down to a midge-tip with a damsel, or pull a snake with some pace when there is a ripple.
πŸŒ‡ Evening (from 5pm) – back up top with dries and emergers. The evening rise has been the best session of the day.

Those reading the conditions and adapting are being rewarded. Those who are not are finding it tougher. That is midsummer stillwater fishing, and it is exactly what makes this place interesting.

🐟 Stocking due very shortly – announcement to follow.

ℹ️ Hut note: the fishing hut is a working office. If you need access on your visit, please ring ahead on 07727 360428 and I will sort it out.

Day rods Β£32.50 C&R, dawn to dusk. Evening rods Β£25 C&R (5pm–dusk, online only, max 4 rods, released 2pm on the day). Open Wednesday to Sunday, maximum 12 rods.

🎣 Two on One Cast! Now That’s Not Something You See Every Day…

A huge well done to regular angler Craig Fleming, who enjoyed one of those sessions that will be talked about for a while at the fishery.

Craig finished the day with 14 trout landed, 4 lost, and plenty more chances besides, fishing a Diawl Bach on a midge tip and a Cheese Egg under the b**g.

The real highlight, however, was this incredible moment… two rainbows hooked and landed on the same cast! 🎣🎣

It’s one of those rare achievements that most anglers will spend a lifetime trying to pull off, and proof that when the fish switch on, things can happen very quickly.

πŸ“ The fish were concentrated around the overflow end, with Craig reporting plenty of activity there throughout the session. Interestingly, the lagoon was much quieter, proving once again that paying attention to where the fish are holding can make all the difference.

Congratulations Craig, a cracking day’s sport and a photo worthy of its own post. πŸ‘

Thinking of a visit?

With water temperatures sitting in the sweet spot and fish showing well across the loch, conditions are looking excellent for the weeks ahead.

Wormit is in fine early-June order, and it is making anglers earn it. 🎣 fans

Water temperature is sitting at a near-perfect 13.5Β°C, the loch is gin clear, and the fish are in superb condition and fighting like they mean it. It has been a genuinely mixed week in the honest sense, and that is worth saying. Some rods had red-letter sessions, a few had to graft, and one or two watched fish show without unlocking them. That is proper stillwater fishing.

A few highlights:

🎣 Ryan Clarke had his best session to date, 12 to the net and 4 lost, on pink and olive mini snakes with more under the b**g on a size 14 grub.
🎣 Stephen Ross landed 9 and David Anderson 8, including a unit just under 8lb, both on FABs and beetles.
🎣 Darren Reid took 5 on dries in a strong evening wind, best around 7lb.
🎣 David Ramsey earned 2 cracking 5 to 6lb rainbows on the washing line.
🎣 Gerald King had 5 on a floating line and a red flashback Diawl Bach, fish that pulled, in his words, like they were on Red Bull.

The honest flip side matters too. Andy B and his partner had one between them in a relentless blow but a great day all the same, and Eddie Scallan saw fish moving without a take. Showing fish are not always feeding fish.

The flies that did the work: size 16 CDC Grunters and Yellow Owls on top in the calm windows, a FAB and Diawl Bach washing line when fish were high but fussy, and mini snakes or a size 14 grub under the b**g for the deeper fish.

Lake Shadow is doing its job, the problem w**d is in check, and the natural margins now returning are holding the food that keeps these fish in such condition. Water levels are up with the boreholes running, so take care on the lower banks.

The week ahead is changeable and breezy, windiest on Saturday, so plan around the early mornings and the long evenings. Day rods are capped at 12, no fixed pegs, online booking only.

Wormit is looking absolutely superb just now. 🎣🌿

This is that brilliant late-spring window where everything seems to come together. The grass is freshly cut, the trees are in full bloom, the water is gin clear, and the fish are properly on the move.

As I’m writing this, I’m looking out at bow waves moving across the loch, which is never a bad sign.

The fishing has been tremendous this week.

Richard McLeary had a cracking evening session, landing 7 and losing a good few more during a proper evening rise. His fishing partner Graham had 11 and also dropped plenty, with fish coming short in that classic infuriating-but-addictive way that keeps us all coming back.

Craig Fleming also had a superb day, landing 14 before 2pm, losing 4 and missing plenty more. Diawl Bachs on a midge tip and cheese egg under the b**g did the damage, with the sluice area fishing particularly well.

He also managed a double hook-up and landed both, which deserves a quiet nod of respect and possibly a lie down afterwards.

The evenings have been particularly good, with more than 17 hours of daylight now and sunset heading towards 10pm. If you like proper stillwater trout fishing, this is a very good time to be here.

The water is in excellent condition. Lake Shadow has done exactly what we needed it to do, checking the problem w**d growth and helping keep the main fishing areas clear. We’re also seeing the right kind of natural marginal plant life coming back, which improves habitat and food life without causing issues for anglers.

The grass carp are also out basking in the sun, probably over 10lb now, and providing excellent entertainment when they give anglers and themselves a fright in equal measure.

We were also delighted to welcome back Blair and Euan from Fluff Flingers Fly Fishing. They fished through to dark, had some serious action and have put together a cracking feature on Wormit.

These guys are great fun, proper anglers, and they show fishing as it really is, with good humour and no nonsense. Their Wormit video has already had more than 4,000 views, and their comments about Wormit being one of Scotland’s best fishing spots mean a lot.

Give them a watch and check out the rest of their channel as well. They’ve been great supporters of the fishery and deserve the plug.

Day rods remain deliberately limited, which keeps the water quiet and the fish rested.

All permits must be booked online in advance.

Good evening from a very cool and very fishy Wormit Trout Fishery tonight 🎣🌀️

I was over cutting the grass on our maintenance day and got completely ambushed by hawthorn flies, so instead of having a cast myself I thought I would show folk a few of the trout that quietly sit beneath the bridge here πŸ‘€

Sometimes when we have beginners, kids or people completely new to fly fishing, I bring them down with a bit of bread just so they can actually see the size and quality of the fish swimming below them before they even pick up a rod.

It gets people excited very quickly πŸ˜„

One thing many people do not realise about trout fishing is just how much life is going on beneath the surface that you never normally see.

Back open tomorrow folks.

🎣 Wormit open this Bank Holiday Monday 🎣

Rods available to book online for:
β€’ Saturday
β€’ Sunday
β€’ Bank Holiday Monday
β€’ Into next week

πŸŒ… Dawn till dusk fishing now in full swing.

Fish from 6am right through until just before 11pm on a day ticket, or from 5pm until 11pm on an evening ticket.

Richard and Graham, two regulars on the water here, were back out for an evening cast and finished on 10 and 8 fish respectively, with plenty more chances missed in between.

Quick conditions update:
β€’ Rod averages sitting around 7–8 fish
β€’ Fish moving hard throughout the day and a sight to behold in the evenings once the wind eases
β€’ Hawthorns everywhere
β€’ Clear water and proper late spring conditions
β€’ Buzzers, hawthorns, small hoppers and damsels all producing
β€’ Small black cormorants on floating lines also fishing very well

The anglers catching consistently are staying mobile, scaling down and covering active fish properly.

No pegs, limited to just 12 rods across the 6 acres, so always plenty of room to move and fish the water properly.

🎣 A quick report from Wormit this week, and the water is looking absolutely superb just now. Clear conditions, fish moving naturally, and plenty happening in front of the anglers who are watching carefully rather than simply flogging the water.

🌊 There’s a nice mix of sport at the moment too. Fish are showing right through the day, but the evenings are properly starting to come alive now with fish higher in the water and some confident takes on dries, buzzers and washing-line tactics.

πŸ‘€ One thing I always say at Wormit is that observation matters. The anglers adjusting to light levels, wind lanes and fish behaviour are the ones consistently doing well.

🐟 The video probably says more than the words this week to be honest. The fish rising behind me rather sums the place up. Quiet water, clear conditions and proper fly fishing. Exactly how it should be.

✨ Also quietly rolled out the new Wormit branding this week. Still very much Wormit, just a cleaner and more refined look that better reflects the direction of the fishery now.

🐟 Wormit Fishery Report - 13/05: Hawthorns Up, Dry Fly Sport & Far Bank Plans

Mid-May has landed properly. Water at 12Β°C, gin clear, fish in cracking nick, and hawthorns now on the scene.

πŸ“Œ The headlines:
- Steve Hursley's group, 17 between them (8, 5 and 4) on hawthorn, olive damsels and red butcher
- Graham Stewart, 17 on damsel and buzzers
- Mr McCleary, 11 all on dries
- Garry Shaw, 14 on attractors and dries
- Jim Lang, 6 on size 16 buzzers
- Sandy McCallan and Davie Anderson, over a dozen between them
- Harris MacLeod, Scottish youth internationalist, 7 fish including a superb brown estimated at 10 to 12lb

πŸͺ° Tactics: dries are leading the conversation. Size 14 and 16 hoppers, sedgehogs and hawthorn-style patterns are all picking up confident takes. Olive damsels and size 16 buzzers are worth a swap when fish get fussy.

🌱 Fresh stocking down last week, mixed browns, blues and rainbows averaging 3lb with some bigger fish in the batch. Overwintered fish coming off in superb condition, tails like spades.

🌀 Weather Wed to Sun: cooler and mixed, very fishable, sunset after 21:00 every night. Full forecast in the report.

Fish the conditions, not your habits.

🎣 Quick conditions update from Wormit

A proper late spring feel on the water just now, with fish feeding hard on naturals and becoming far more selective in the clear conditions.

Top returns over the last couple of days have still pushed well into double figures, but it has definitely been more technical at times, particularly with the recent north easterly wind combined with the latest stocking.

That’s completely normal on any fishery. Sudden changes in pressure, temperature and oxygen levels move fish around and alter their comfort levels. Trout react to those changes quickly, often dropping deeper, shifting areas or simply becoming less willing for a period while things settle again.

The fish are still there, but anglers adapting their tactics are the ones finding the better sport.

Small dries, hawthorns, hoppers and small black cormorants on floating lines have all been producing, particularly for anglers staying mobile, covering fish and scaling everything down.

One thing Wormit gives you is room to fish properly while conditions evolve. No fixed pegs, limited rods and the ability to move, follow the wind and work active fish rather than being rooted to one bank.

The evenings, once the wind eases, are still really switching on.

A few rods remain for tomorrow.
