Sunday 10th June

At last some ideal trout catching weather, with a mixture of cloud cover and the sun peaking through, occasionally, earlier on there was a virtual flat calm across the entire lake. A slight westerly breeze, causing a slight ripple every now and then.
Trout have been very close to the surface today, within the top few feet.
Caught to various methods, but mainly different dries, such as klinkhammer & G&H sedge patterns.
This morning with the lake being a total flat calm, fish were rising constantly from 8am through til midday. The majority of which appeared to be taking emerging midges.

As the day progressed the wind picked up and the fish appeared to be a little deeper down, although still showing near the surface.

Plenty of fish caught, apologise that i have no pictures of them! but it was my day off and i was sat out in the middle of the lake, float-tubing!
Excellent fun! the trout just didnt seem to care that i was within reach, rising within a few feet of my tube!

The weathers looking excellent again for monday, cloud cover, with the odd splash of sun shine around late evening time. The weather also looks as though it will remain consistant for this week, which is excellent news. The trout dislike rapid water temperature changes, and with the weather "hopefully" staying pretty consistant, the catch rates will continue to climb.
