Fishing Report @ 04th February 2008

After January's unsettled weather I'm hoping for a long settled spell of mild days in February. Not bothered if it rains or blows as long as it's from the south west, I just want it to stay the same for more than one day!

For the first time all winter, fish seemed a little more picky last week. Fishing was still good, however we really had to stay on the move, one fish from an area (or non) then move. Again buzzers, bloodworm and lures dominated the catches.

A couple of short calm sunny spells during the week brought a few fish to the top, where a size 18 black F fly picked up the first fish to dries for us in 2008. At the other extreme, day's like last Friday meant switching to intermediate or medium sink lines to enable flies to be fished at the correct depth.

This weeks forecast looks better at the moment, here's hoping it stays that way!
