Weekly Report Week ending 16th August 2015
As is often the case watch the weather and speak to the lodge for latest updates ensured anglers fished the most productive sessions which this past week seemed to shift daily from morning session to the last 4 hours and the evening rise.
Water temperature as started to fall with the cooler evenings and this morning at 7.30am was 18.5 degrees which is OK for the fishing.
Our claret buzzer has started hatching a week or 10 days earlier than expected, picture of the buzzer is on our facebook page, Flyfishstore, not surprising therefore the claret hopper has worked well as has the daddy and G&H sedge.
On the warmer brighter periods anglers have had to use the intermediate with a damsel, haresear or cats whisker taking fish
