Fly Fishing Report 19th November 2007

The much colder weather during the past few days seems to have put more anglers off fly fishing than it has trout off the feed! Even during the roughest days we have had several chances, landing at least one fish while others landed nine or ten fish depending upon client experience.

Loynton is fishing extremely well, plenty of fish to 6lbs for clients, most on their first day, while one unlucky angler lost a double! Total doubles landed during the week by visiting anglers was six.

Over at Watermark fishing has really taken off, with plenty of fish between 2-7lbs coming to the bank. On the river grayling are starting to settle into their winter haunts, the first frosts sharpening their appetites.

Top flies have been our own Beadhead Fry, MFF Leech and MFF Zonker on the lakes as rainbows really hit into fry. Other effective patterns were cats whisker and loynton guinea. On the river shrimps and beadhead nymphs are working well as always.
