Thursday 26th July

Sun cream!

Slight easterly breeze, around 5 mph. Very mild and humid

Challenging fishing currently, but those that put in the hours and effort have been rewarded.
Mr Nick Woodward has returned for another "Okey-Dokey" session, and has managed 4 fish to this exact pattern, with a absolutely cracking bow around 4 1/2lb! With a large spade like tail, it gave a excellent account for itself.

The members session last night was again challenging, with 3 fish caught.
One day ticket angler Mr Eugene coll, managed one fish (see picture below). His first trout ever to the fly!
Good Angling!

Hopefully over the next few days the weather will cool and the water temperature with it.
Those anglers fishing deep (10-12ft) have had the most success, to various patterns but the more successful has been the "Okey-Dokey".

A big thanks to Mr Eugene coll for emailing me this photo.

One thing that has stood out over the last week, while we had these mild conditions the fish have been deep during the day but coming somewhat higher towards late evening.
If you work your way to around 12ft with a slow sink or fast sinking line (dependant on your method of choice), then you should hit into a few fish between 10am-2pm, after this the fish have climbed slightly. Around 6-7ft has been fishing best between, 2pm-8pm.
This is entirely dependant on the rising or climbing of the water temp. Not sure? Ask in the tackle shop before you commence your fishing session. It will also pay to start on the wall side pontoons, possibly number 4 or 5 fishing best currently, as they are ideally positioned over the "shelf".

Tight Lines,
