It was Austin’s first ever time fishing a spring fed river ,where fish can be spotted, cast to and their reactions observed. By the end of his day, he could not only fish such streams much better, he’d also caught a new personal best brown trout. The successful fly being a size 20 tan caddis […]
Looking back, it’s hard to believe we were so concerned about water shortages for summer! River fishing has been and continues to be fantastic. Clients have enjoyed some memorable river fishing, with good numbers of trout and some really special individual fish like the big wild brown trout above. Best of all many of the […]
I’m delighted to report, June has been another fantastic month for fly fishing! Lakes have fished very well overall, with some top quality fish landed and many clients making great improvements to their fishing, something which is so rewarding for me to see.

May’s fly fishing, right into early June as I write, has been anything but average. The lakes fished superbly, while rivers only really seemed to hit form during the final week of May.

March kicked off our Spring 2012 fishing in style! Plenty of clients learning, while catching some great trout on the lakes at Loynton Fisheries.

With mild temperatures for March, lengthening days and the start of the river season, it’s time to spring into action and get out fly fishing! We have everything to look forward to at this stage in the year. Large midge (buzzer) and olive hatches on the lakes, stoneflies and a plethora of upwinged flies on […]
