Monthly Members Evening review !!
A general look at the September members evening, and the awesome curry that went down a treat!

Curley's always fishes best this time of year, just as the water temp starts to drop towards the colder months.
Big Gordy lures, black fritz, blobs, stripped back at a rate of knots does very well, as a lot of anglers found yesterday. Its often difficult to achieve a solid hook up when the trout chase, three ways to achieve solid hook ups on a fast paced retrieve.

• Slow the retrieve down enough for the trout to take hold.
• Keep the speed constant so the trout will continue to chase and hopefully latch hold.
• Before lifting off to re-cast, hang your flies for around 20seconds to allow the fish to catch up and grab the flies before they escape its vision.

Its often a case of trying all three of the above until your fast stripped lure is met with resistance.

Top patterns for yesterday:

1. Klinkhamer
2. Daddy long legs
3. Orange blob
4. Olive gold head

The fish have been consistently no more than 3-4ft deep, with alot of fish taking flies as they touch down on the surface. So be prepared for plenty of instant smash grab takes!

Weather wise the rain is holding off at the minute, but its very dull and dark. The forecast isn't too bright for today, however these conditions are ideal for trout, cloudy and cool.

I will upload a video shortly.... check back soon!

Tightlines.
PS. The September Members evening video is currently in the finishing stages, so it should be uploaded before the weekend! (had a few emails through).
