Saturday 7th July

A very different day! The suns out and virtually nil wind, a slight easterly around 7mph.
Very few fishing showing near to the surface, intermediate lines and a team of buzzers or a single black fritz.
Fished very slow, the water is a little cloudy from all the rain we've had over yesterday, so the fish wont be able to see your fly, unless its within a certain range of its vision.
Quite a few anglers out on the water today, making the best of the weather while it lasts!!

Member Jim McGinley has just netted a fighting fit bow of around 31/2 lbs.

The stocked fish will have settled by now, so slow fished lures or a team of nymphs for the bigger residents.



Dwial Bachs, black Buzzers, crunchers and bloodworm patterns doing quite a bit of damage as of late, quite a few fish have come out to natural patterns, as there has been a lot of hatches taking place over the last week with the damp humid conditions encouraging the hatches.
The mistake a few Anglers make is to retrieve buzzers and nymphs back at a pace, this will stand out from the other chronomidae (buzzers) as the natural doesnt move against currents. Instead they make there way to the surface slowly but with the current gentle drifting them around. So cast out, and let the wind or current do the work, just keeping in touch with the line with the occasional very slow figure of eight retrieve.
