Weekly Report Week ending 23rd August 2015
The evening has being the most productive period to fish with anglers staying on to fish the last couple of hours enjoying most evening great evening rise sport to ever increasing hatches of claret buzzer.
Water surface temperature has remained around the 18 degree mark this past week, with the shortening of the daylight hours the water temperature will slowly continue to drop which in turn will ensure the trout come onto the feed and remain in the upper water column.
During the day the lonesome pine, stones & orange buoy area has produced best with boats on the drift generally producing better than the anchored boats. Muddlers, dries, suspender buzzers, cats whisker & the washing line has produced best with emergers, daddies & dries best in the evening
