Fishing Report 1st-8th April

Yes I have just realised I jumped in time with last weeks report (title said the end of April instead of March). I've corrected the error!

Another good week of fishing, all waters again fishing well. I have done several tuition days at Loynton, which has fished mainly very well, with good numbers of fish and several doubles to 20lbs landed. Best flies have been mobile patterns such as guineas, scruffy damsel, leech, cats whisker, zonker though buzzers have picked up a few fish in the last couple of days. (Sorry Dave, you and Liam hit the slow day!)

Carsington continues to fish well, some days floating lines and buzzer are picking up good catches, while a sinking line and lure is picking out the bigger fish. Browns to 3lb+ and rainbows to 5lbs landed.

The brown trout season has now started and good fish to low doubles have been landed at Watermark and Lechlade (Watermark fished very well while we were there 6 fish landed on small nymphs and buzzers). The river Coln is looking well, though still had a little colour in it during our visits. Most action to small PTN and shrimp flies, with sporadic olive hatches triggering the odd fish to rise to a parachute adams.

Great weather, good fishing and it's only early April! What more can you ask for? Availability for April is now only 3 days, early May I still have good availability, along with the last week at the moment. If you are planning a trip, let me know dates ASAP as bookings are coming in daily now.
