Christmas 2009 Fly Fishing

Well the big freeze has arrived just in time for Christmas again. Is it me or is this becoming a regular occurrence? With the majority of lakes frozen over, it narrows down fishing opportunities at this time of year. If the freeze continues and you need to get out, my advice is look no further than the seasonal grayling fishing. Need some inspiration to get you out the door? Check out this clip from Sky's Tight Lines.

Hopefully we get a thaw. If so hitting your local stillwater can provide some fantastic action with not only lures, buzzers are lethal, particularly when fishing right after ice out, which releases numbers of trapped midge pupa.

Another top target post thaw are pike, the lifting temperature often triggers a feeding spree. Make the most of it should opportunity knock.

Finally to all blog readers and clients, we wish you all a great Christmas.
