Fly Fishing Report 5th-12th May 2007

Well the weather this week has been more like spring, but that has not stopped some excellent fishing.

Loynton has produced several good fish, the largest 24lb 7oz. Everyone seems to be fishing black flies at the moment, my advice is try something different if no one is catching!

Watermark is fishing amazingly well with some excellent brown trout to 5lbs+ being caught. The early season algal bloom has now cleared, so stalking big trout is now possible again.

Willington produced catches of up to 12 fish per angler for us this week on both buzzer and dries.

Carsington continues it's spring form, with buzzers and small nymphs taking plenty of fish. On rougher days swap the floater for an intermediate to improve presentation.

The river Coln has been amazing, buzzing with fly life and rising trout every day for most of the day. Mayfly have been coming off for the last 10 days but this weeks weather change has kept hatches low in number and the trout are still not 100% on them. Best flies are currently olives and midge patterns. Wild brownies to 1.5lb landed this week. As the trout target the mayfly, some bigger fish will be landed!

Other waters showing early mayfly action are Willington, Marton Heath, Bushyleaze, and river Leach.

Must wrap up now, busy day ahead!
