Bank Holiday Monday 27th

Brisk start today for those wetting a line. Quite a few fish caught ALL on buzzers of one variety or another and ALL very shallow.
Top rod up to now is Jim McGinley on 4 fish, he will end up with double figures before the session is over!

Tip of the week 

I see quite a few people fishing buzzers in all manner of peculiar ways. A good way to fish them is to cast across the wind i.e. with the wind left to right or right to left from your position, allow your line to be blown in the direction of the wind. You'll end up with a big bow in the line with the buzzers moving exactly as the naturals would be.
Don't retrieve, just let the wind do all the work for you. Sometimes you will NOT feel any take, you must watch your line like a hawk and lift at any sign of movement - do not wait for a tug on the line - takes can be very gentle and subtle.
If you think there is a fish on, lift the rod in the general direction of the bow in the line not just vertically - there will be too much slack to hook the fish!
The normal set up with this method would be a floating line (could be any line actually) with a long leader with 3 flies (2 droppers) Initially use 3 different coloured flies and maybe even different sizes and swap about till you have located fish, what depth they are feeding in and what pattern they are interested in.
A fantastic method of fishing! Try it!
