Some great bags this week with several to high singles and low doubles. The fish have been going potty on the surface for hatching buzzers and have really locked onto the larger specimens starting to come off. Black and dark brown buzzers close to a size 12 have appeared, despite the rain the hatches have … Continue reading Week ending 1st April 2018
More rain again this week and once again the lake is up another few inches and the fish are seemingly very hungry and feeding hard. Buzzers still taking top honours this week but the usual suspects taking the rest. Fish are still high in the water and floating lines or midge tips have been the … Continue reading Week ending 25th March 2018
Mixed weather hasn’t helped but those that have ventured out have done well. Buzzers are now hatching of but are only small, size 16 but fish have been quick to come to the surface even in the rain. Static buzzers under an indicator or fished duo have accounted for the bulk of the fish but … Continue reading Week ending 18th March 2018

The yellow tagged fish is still … Continue reading Week ending 11th February
Another great week of fishing with most anglers having a lot of success. Best bags have come to naturals but lures have still had some success, fish are feeding hard on buzzers and nymphs and even been seen taking dries off the top. Floating lines have still been the order of the day with more … Continue reading Week ending 4th February 2018
The fishery continues to shine despite some up and down weather. Nymphs have been doing the most damage with bags of up to 22 fish being taken on buzzer and damsels. Floating lines have been best with fish very active in the top 2-4 feet of the water. Anglers that keep on the move have … Continue reading Week ending 28th January 2018
