There’s some really good evening fishing at the moment. Fish are feeding on emergers, yellow may Dunn’s, Danica Mayfly, gnats and midge.

Well, that little bit of sunshine and increased temperature has kicked off one of our early fly hatches today.
Get those emergers and dry flies dusted off and make the most of the weekend weather.

Really nice to be able to fish in early March. No Floods, no freezing easterly winds, no Snow. It was actually quite pleasant today, zero wind and ok temperature which is a massive bonus this time of year. The water is looking in great condition at the moment which is why I ventured out.
There were a few olives on the surface with what looked like one or two March browns or Brook Dunn’s.
I saw one fish rise and that was it. Nymphed a few faster runs but no takes.
Although it was great to be out, I think it needs a few weeks for the fishing to kick off properly.
Good luck and tight lines if your out on our waters some time soon. 🎣🤞🏼
