Fishing Report Mid March 2008

A week of unsettled weather, from storm force winds to flat calms. However fishing has been fantastic! Some serious midge hatches occurred during last week and while fish are by and large reluctant to visit the surface just yet, they have no qualms about sipping in ascending midge pupa on their way to the surface.

Several tuition days split between Watermark in gloucestershire and Loynton in Staffordshire produced lots of action for clients, enjoying either their 1st day's fly fishing or furthering existing skills. Both venues produced numbers of rainbows for us between 2-6lbs. Speaking with fishery staff at both venues, lots of fish between 2-8lbs have been caught with several fish to mid double figures too.

Our top flies for the week were black midge pupa (buzzers, PTN, hopper, white and black beadhead lures).
