The holiday
spell has been quite quiet but visitors have
had some great days out as the quality of
the fishing has been consistently good.
The fish move up and down in the water as
the weather conditions change and floating,
slow intermediate and fast intermediate
lines have all brought success on different
days. Generally a breeze and sunny
conditions will send the fish down in the
water but on occasions a dry fly has still
tempted fish. The most successful
flies have been small nymphs with bibios,
kate mclarens and diawl bachs all producing
results. Anglers have also reported
success with lures such as black dancers and
hot head damsels. The oxygen content
in the water is extremely high due to the
reservoir being refilled last year followed
by many heavy periods of rain over the year
and the fish are in the very best of
condition. Some anglers have reported
3lb fish fighting furiously and taking 10
minutes + to land.
