The weather improved dramatically through the week last week and so did the catches! Angling regular, Jay Bartlett had a terrific Friday session bagging 8 fish in quick time including 2 spartics. Using a mix of tactics including waking a daddy across the surface produced some excellent sport. Nymphs and naturals continue to come out … Continue reading Fishing Report 20th March
With freezing temperatures and snow it was a very quiet first half of the week for the fishery. Just when we finally thought that spring was here, the winter weather was back with a bang! By the back end of the week the snow had gone but chilly conditions remained. Anglers returned and had some … Continue reading Fishing Report 13th March

What a difference a week makes! Despite some ruthlessly cold north east winds, plenty of anglers ventured out and were well rewarded.

Some milder weather has seen plenty of buzzer activity and anglers have had lots of success either long lining or using an indicator with black buzzer patterns. One angler, after treating himself to a new rod from … Continue reading Fishing Report 6th February
A much warmer week than the previous one saw lots of activity with plenty of buzzers hatching off at the height of the day. Some lovely calm conditions resulted in a good amount of surface activity with trout making the most of it. Nymphs and buzzers where probably the best line of attack for most but … Continue reading Fishing Report 31st January
Well after a week of heavy rains we switched to a week of heavy frosts. Temperatures were down to -8 overnight and daytime temps not much above freezing. This didn’t stop the anglers coming out to have a go and the fish were (at times) very obliging. Floating lines and intermediates seemed to do best, … Continue reading Fishing Report 23rd January
