Weekly Report Week ending 13th September 2015
With the cooler temperatures water clarity improved as the week went on with anglers reporting plenty of trout feeding on the surface although at times proved difficult to tempt, with fish either drowning the fly or coming short, they seemed preoccupied on the smaller buzzer hatching, with anglers stepping down to size 14 emergers, hoppers and smaller daddy patterns catching.
Towards the weekend a few fish were turning onto the fry with anglers using an intermediate with hares ear, snakes, cats whisker and bunny leaches.
Green bay & stones has produced best with large numbers of trout in these areas, although some fry bashing has been seen along the main dam.
