Thursday

Its only 8:30am here at curleys and the signs are good for a excellent days sport.
The weathers warming up, the suns occasionally showing, and the wind is changeable, but only a light breeze.

Later on in the evening, myself and geoff witnessed an amazing display of trout chasing small roach very close to surface, dont underestimate the speed of a trout. Enormous swirls took place with small roach jumping out of the water to save themselves from becoming a trouts next meal. Trout were physically leaping out of the water in an attempt to grab themselves a small roach.
This is a excellent sign, as not only are the fish feeding on the usual buzzers hatches but also have switched into fry feeding mode, these fry feeding fish will put on weight quickly! Watching this take place 2-3ft from the bank is amazing.

I would recommend a team of buzzers as the weather warms up, and the trout are feeding on the usual hatches throughout the day, but i would be very tempted to cast a fish/roach pattern later on in the evening.

AFTERNOON UPDATE:
Member Gary Stanley has secured 5 bows to his net, and one around 4lb, to a suspender buzzer.
(apologises if i get the following names mixed up)
Mr Fred Marsh has had 3 trout mainly off the surface to black hoppers and boobies.
Mr N Woodward has netted 8 fish upto now with most of them taking black hoppers and black boobies slowly dragged across the surface to create a wake.

Rod average of 2.6 trout netted.
With some nice caught rates amoungst the twos and threes caught, excellent sport to dries as the evening gets later.

Tightlines,
Nath
