Weekly Report Week ending 4th October 2015
As we move into October fry patterns are taking more and more fish, however don’t pack those emergers and dry flies away yet, as this mild October continues to give us good buzzer hatches.
Russ Martin won the Thornton Fly Fishers pensioners match using a size 14 Elk Hair Sedge to take a 4 fish limit for a total weight of 11lb including a 4lb12oz rainbow. Adrian Freer also used a size 14 Elk Hair Sedge to take his 6 fish while Simon Crane fished a small G&H sedge to catch his 5 trout, Mark Hunt fished a combination of daddies and cruncher to catch his trout including a rainbow of 4lb8oz and a 2lb brown while Mat Cairns fished a buzzer
Fry Patterns are also working, the Snake, Bunny Leach, small cut throat cats & cats whiskers with anglers this past week only having to use two lines, a floater or intermediate.
Main dam, Green Bay & Stones continue to be the most productive part of the reservoir with a good number of fish to be seen feeding along these areas, we will expect if not this coming week but next to start seeing fish moving into the arms and the large shoals of fry around the weed beds & boat pontoon.
