Feedback & Reports

First time fly fishing so unsurprisingly blanked. Had to be 40-50 good rises just off the bank from 7 till 8. If I could manage to get a fly successful in the water would have been a great trip. Water level was also way down

Fished traditional wet flies between 1930 and 2100.

Very Windy and low water level.
No fish

1 trout around 3/4 lb

Although a bright and very warm day there was a very strong Southerly wind blowing the length of the reservoir with big waves and ‘white horses’.This was consistent all day. On the West Bank this resulted in silt in suspension in the water at least 20 yards out from the bank for the entire length of the bank.On the northern section of the east bank the silt in the water was only marginally narrower. Nothing showing - no touches with either floating and sinking line with long casts out into clear water. Nil return.

Only one take, on dry fly, later in the evening. Even though no sign of a hatch. No luck with a variety of small nymphs. Pleasant evening though and not a soul in site for most of the evening.

Bit too windy for me. Nothing caught.

Strong cold wind blowing from dam end, bright sun . one WBT est 1.25 lbs 1 smaller. Challenging day but enjoyable.
