On the surface it looked like a pretty good day for fishing yesterday but as it turned out it was quite difficult mainly due to the continual bright sunshine! Fish were caught but in ones and twos. When the sun was hidden in cloud a great buzzer hatch appeared but this didn't happen till about 1 o'clock and lasted about 2 hours. During that time I had a little fish myself and managed 3 rainbows in about a dozen casts.
My favourite method for buzzer hatches nowadays is the suspender buzzer and it nearly always seems to be the olive one that works the best at Curley's.
Start off by fishing it as a dry at the surface but then as it gets waterlogged fish it wherever it goes, normally about 4 to 5 inches below and this is when I get most of the takes. Sometimes you will see a take just like surface fishing but at other times just a swirl, either way great fun.
Prospects today look rather better with more cloud cover and just a ripple on the water. Buzzers should come out to play again at sometime during the day.
