We've had a excellent week so far, with 89% of anglers catching between 5-10 fish, 5% catching less than 5 fish and 6% not catching. Aside from the percentages, fish have been coming out to various patterns, black fritz, suspender buzzers.
The top three patterns this week have been....
1. Black fritz
2.Black & green tadpole
3.Large black buzzer
TODAY : Saturday 20th October
Not a bad day today weather wise, a very slight easterly. A typical still autumn morning, a slight frost on the grass first thing.
A few anglers out on the water, all on various methods, some on slow sinking lines, most on floaters. It is recommended this time of year to search the water depths constantly until you find the "thermocline layer", which is the depth the fish will be most comfortable at and will remain there until they feel less comfortable or a sudden hatch takes place.
Trout will always look up for food, and can scan the surface of the water from 5-6ft down in reasonably clear water. Although their range of vision alters the deeper they go (they can see a wider area), they cant focus as much and this can lead to snatch takes. Aggressive takes, as the fish sees your pattern from a bit further down, and will charge towards the surface, often turning away at the last minute! Very frustrating.
A Excellent way to combat these refusals, is to fish with a team of flies. So as the fish turns to head back down it may see another of your patterns that takes its fancy.
