As enthusiastic a bunch of people as ever joined us during March and early April for tuition at Loynton Trout Fisheries. Fishing wise, trout have responded well to lure and nymph tactics at the venue, with dries starting to take fish more consistently late March and into April as temperatures jumped up. Once again our […]
While lakes remained ice free throughout February, much of the month was certainly cold. That said, we had some glorious days too. Fishing followed as similar pattern as discussed in our January report. A small selection of mini lures in bright and subtle colouration, plus dark buzzers and bloodworm all scored subsurface. March typically follows […]
While around half of January was a right off due to weather conditions, the remaining half produced some good fishing and coaching opportunities. A few days provided conditions PM, where a midge hatch really had the trout feeding high in the water and on a couple of occasions, at the surface. During such periods a […]
We have been enjoying consistent fly fishing on the lakes for several weeks. This recent post on autumn & winter fly fishing and the associated video give you a flavour of the experience right now. While our river season ended back in October, now is a great time to enjoy the lakes and use the […]
True summer fly fishing conditions have prevailed during recent weeks, resulting in superb action on the river and challenging conditions on the lakes. To add to Steve’s comments in the above video, the river fishing is epic and we expect it to continue similarly until the season ends in early October. Productive sport to spiders, […]
Since our last report in June, river fishing has got better and better. We have run most lessons and guided fishing during the afternoons and evenings during settled warm and dry conditions. At this time of year it offers clients the very best opportunities to enjoy good fishing. Nymph, wet fly and dry fly techniques […]
By late May rivers were fishing well, with good hatches including the start of the Mayfly season. Plenty of opportunities to dry fly fish, particularly during afternoons. Mornings have remained stubbornly chilly mostly, resulting in nymph fishing being most productive before an early lunch and good dry fly sport. June is looking very busy happily […]
Our lessons on the lakes have been highly productive for clients during recent weeks while rivers ran high. In recent days, rivers at long last have come into there own as nature quickly catches up! Good fly life on lake and river are getting fish feeding up in the water. On the lakes, a bounty […]
March started our 2024 beginners fly fishing course program. While many people take lessons throughout the year, our beginners courses suit others who prefer the social element of joining a small group. As can be seen in the above image, it’s an active day and lots of fun! The occasional day during March provided opportunity […]
The first two months of 2024 certainly gave us some varied and challenging weather conditions. On a positive note, we should have plenty of water for the rest of the year! When conditions made sense we’ve run some casting and fishing lessons on the lakes, which are fishing really well. It’s a great time to […]
