Wednesday 16th May

Its looking much better today, weather wise.
Cloud cover, with the odd display from the sun.
The wind is minimal westerly, creating a near perfect ripple across the lake.

Fish have started to show themselves close to the surface, unlike over the last few days when the wind got up to 30+mph.

UPDATE:
Bailiff Geoff has netted two fish up to now, to a yellow dancer. A nice fish of 31/2lb also.
Member John Donohue has landed the one fish to a gold head dwial bach.
Few fish showing near to the surface, they seem to be showing a lot more after a small downpour.
The wind is still minimal, 5-6mph. Westerly.

Team of naturals vs a team of lures!
Most of the time a lot of anglers opt for a combination of lures, or a single lure, this can catch fish most of the year round however, you will, without doubt catch more fish if you opt for a natural set up.
Team of buzzers or nymphs etc.
A lot of fish will be feeding around this time of year, almost constantly through out the day, on various aquatic invertebrate. Find depth at which they are feeding and you will have a very successful day.
Try general imitative patterns such as the dwial bach, a standard black buzzer or a cruncher pattern, to cover a few options for the trout. Fish slow, virtually static, at different depths. This will bring you more fish at Curleys as its full of fly life this time of year.


Tight lines,
