Fishing Report September 09

On the rivers, we are ending the trout season in style with some cracking fish. On the wye we've had browns to 2lbs, plus some of the prettiest wild rainbows I've seen. Virtually all have come to dries as we experienced good hatches of BWO's, stone flies, midge and caddis. On the river Coln, some superbly marked browns to 3lbs have fallen to a range of dries, emergers and nymphs fished to sighted trout.

Looking forward our river fishing on the Coln switches focus to the grayling from October 1st and their are plenty of them to be caught! For the Wye, that will be end of fishing until 2010.

Stillwaters are picking up steadily in the main, Loynton is now fishing very well. Clients have enjoyed a run of fish to 8lbs during September to daddies, buzzers and a mix of bait fish patterns. Over at Watermark the sight fishing for trout between 2-7lbs has been good overall. Some day's have been tricky with lots of follows,that's all part of the game when stalking fish. A mix of buzzers, daddies and stalking bugs have done the trick. Bushyleaze and Lechlade have been a little tougher, however fish are moving.

Looking into October the above stillwaters will get better and better. Plenty of bigger fish to come and more fish hitting fry!

Can't wait!
