Flies including hoppers, daddies, damsels, nymphs and hares ears are all producing some good results however, the key at the … Continue reading Fishing Report 15/10/25
Since reopening last weekend, autumn fishing has really come alive at the fishery, with plenty of topwater action. Hoppers and dry flies have been particularly effective, while subsurface tactics using hot head damsels have also produced great results.

We’ve had a good week here at the fishery with colder conditions offering some excellent sport. Black and green lures with mixed retrieves have been successful but don’t be afraid to try fishing higher up in the water column or even on the surface. Now is a great time to check and clean your kit … Continue reading Fishing Report 30th January
