Fishing Report at 7th October 2007

It's been great to have a little time to think again this week, a couple of free days allowed for catching up on some office work (it's not all fishing and fun here) and to start getting ready for the open day at Watermark on Saturday 13th October. It will be a great day out, so come along and say hello, we will be in the main marquee by the entrance.

Fishing this week has really started to get going, it has been tuition days at Loynton and Watermark for me and everyone has enjoyed good sport.

Loynton is starting to really get going, plenty of fish being caught in the 2-5lb range with the odd fish around 8-10lbs. Whether you are fishing nymph or lure, black and green has been the top colour mix, followed by white and yellow. Good midge hatches have brought fish to the surface some days, and small black dries or buzzers fished just subsurface have done well during these hatches.

Watermark is as clear as ever, as the weather cools the better fish are moving at around 4 feet down. Some days larger mobile flies are taking fish, others buzzers and small nymphs with a touch of white are catching well. Experiment with fly and retrieve styles until you find what the fish want on a given day. If the wind is gusting daddies fished dry or damp are taking good fish on the windward bank and from boats.
