Tuesday 28th May

At the end of May already? All of our fishing rivers, reservoirs and stillwaters should be at their peak now but we are still suffering from the long hard winter. Insect life is way behind, yes we have plenty of chironomids about but sedges have been scarce and as for hawthorn flies?? I haven't seen any at the fishery only at the river!
Generally speaking we are getting warmer water temps so the fish are a lot more active. In fact as I type this post the water is alive with rises to buzzers all over the lake.
Could be a good day for those who fancy wetting a line!
