Feedback & Reports

The worst of the rain stayed away but there was a blustery wind. Not warm but a few small midges hatching and occaisional rising fish. Wandered around and found a few fish, landed 3, two smaller to around 3/4 lbs, largest just under 1.5lbs.

Fished 10.45-4.30. Slow at first but fish were still taking nymphs late in the day. One parr, the rest nicely conditioned fish up to 1lb or so.
Three fish to a Jingler , the rest on assorted nymphs.
Very little fly life apart from a small LDO hatch mid afternoon.

7 Brown Trout. Three on the dry (DHE size 14, 16), remainder on heavy nymphs.

Two hatches, one of a smaller fly at 12-1230, which solicited a reasonably enthusiastic response. The second 1400-1430, of a larger fly - LDO type thing, with a few March Browns seen, which solicited a very enthusiastic response.

The lake was obviously very full and quite windy,limits access a bit at the bottom end. Tried all the usuals, diawl bachs and others, did try a kink on top too, but no joy, one pull on a Kate Mclaeren but didnt stay on..

River was high but just fishable at last for a few hours before the Edw started coming in a grey and all rising once again! A few trout to the heavy line and tube. Many thanks all for arranging access.
