Fly Fishing Report @ 14th January 08

My apologies for the light posting currently, early January means getting some site updates done ready for Spring. This has also meant light fishing for me around a few client days. Still we are pretty much done now, so that is going to change!

The trout don't seem too bothered by the very changeable weather we have had. The few anglers venturing forth post New Year have had some good fishing. Loynton, Watermark, Bushyleaze, Lechlade and Cound all report good sport. Loynton, Watermark and Lechlade are producing the bigger fish as usual.

Top flies have been mini damsels, buzzers and various lures with colours varying according to the trouts' mood (and what they have already seen). Brighter stalking bugs in yellow and white also working well along with weighted HE nymph.

One big update that will roll out to the site early February is a fly fhop update. This will continue our theme of offering a small range of highly effecive patterns including some specials, though this year we are expanding the range in response to customer feedback!

I've further refined a couple of my own patterns, expanded the colour range for our stalking bugs, put together a range of fly sets for stillwater and river and finally introduced a range of dry flies. In all the selection will offer a good variety of what freshwater fly fishers need for 2008. So if your fly box needs reloading, look for further news in early February.
