Saturday 26th May

Its looking very good for today, cooler than it has been, with a fresh wind blowing easterly. Roughly 10mph. Few fish showing near the surface, however with the surface temperature cooler early morning, the fish will be closer to the surface than in the middle of the day when the sun gets up and warms up the surface layers.

Member Jim McGinley has netted the one fish already (7:30am).

Sinking lines are a must around mid day, with the surface temperature reaching 15 degrees.

Another Beautiful day here at Curleys Trout Fishery!

The weather has warmed up alot over the last hour or so, sinking lines and buzzers are the way forward.

A few Midge hatches taking place, no doubt the trout are feeding on them deeper down.
A good imitation of this would be the follow two flies, or similar to the flies below:
(Olive, black and red buzzers etc)

Epoxy Olive and Black Buzzer.

Evening UPDATE:
As the weather starts to cool down, towards late evening, fish will start showing themselves.
With the heat and temperatures rising during the day, the fishing goes quite. Anglers fishing medium/fast sinking lines and working the depths have been rewarded, A couple of anglers doing well (conditions considered) with a few reported catching 2-3 fish on a four hour ticket.

It will be a classic evening rise tonight i would imagine, as the temperature cools, and the sun starts to settle behind the tree line. Ive seen alot of midges about today, this is the most common food source for the trout at this time of year. With the odd appearence being made from black/brown sedges.

Tight Lines,
