Fishing Report 7th November

Notes

Well the winter weather certainly arrived with vengeance again and we had some enormous amounts of wind and rain at times. It’s not harming the water levels which are creeping up slowly, great news looking ahead to next season and getting back to full capacity, not so good for the fishing. The unsettled weather can … Continue reading Fishing Report 7th November »

Fishing Report 31st October

Notes

A very mixed week of weather to say the least! Exceptionally warm daytime temperatures approaching 20 degrees is certainly not the norm for the end of October! A mixture of flat calm conditions, strong winds, dry conditions and heavy showers gave an unsettled feel which affected the fish. Some days there was plenty of hatching … Continue reading Fishing Report 31st October »

Another great week at the fishery with lots of surface activity. Daddies and hoppers were the top flies but plenty were also taken subsurface on nymphs and mini lures with damsels, dial bachs and cats whiskers being the ‘go to’ patterns.

Fishing Report 13th June 2022

Notes

Last week was another largely warm one, but we did at times have a rather chilly wind alongside. Water temperatures have remained steady with no further rises this week and, with that, the fish have stayed happy and feeding heavily on naturals. Buzzers continue to hatch along with the damsels which are now starting to … Continue reading Fishing Report 13th June 2022 »

Fishing Report 6th June 2022

Notes

Well sadly the mayfly madness has now been and gone, but the damsel hatch is now starting to kick off. There’s still been plenty of surface activity with clouds of buzzers still coming off. Nymphs have still been the go-to method with floating lines and sink tips, long leaders and super slow retrieves. Crunchers, Diawl … Continue reading Fishing Report 6th June 2022 »
