tuesdays prospects!

If the weather is as good as promised the fish will be feeding as the water warms up from early morning. Sunny and very warm.


I am fishing curleys myself on tuesday, starting with a floating line and a team of buzzers, covering all eventualities from a midge hatch to the bloodworm stage on my leader (3 fly set up). Bloodworm is the most persistant aquatic chronomid to inhabit curleys fisheries.

My point fly will be sitting at roughly 6-7 foot of water which is where most the fish have been caught over the last few days, to cover the hatching midge larvae.
Middle dropper will be either a comorant or a red ribbed diawl bach, as alot of fish have been produced on a fly similar to this over the last week. Finally my top dropper will be either a emerging midge pattern or a sunken sedge pattern (alot of these present over, when the temp warms up).

There is alot of empty shells of the midge pupae floatin on the surface, indicating that the fish are feeding on the stage, lower down in the surface layer.

If no fish are caught just subsurface, or on the surface. An intermediate line and a couple of buzzer patterns, with a booby on the point is doing the business. (the washing line method).

Tightlines, and i look forward to seeing plenty of you out on the water on tuesday to catch the midge hatches in action.
