Late summer into early autumn continues to provide good river fly fishing, with clients enjoying success using a variety of nymph and dry fly strategies. There is such an abundant diversity of insect life on the river now, fly selection can seem overwhelming. Fortunately, most of the time trout are happy to feed diversely too. […]
Our lessons during high summer at Loynton Lakes focus primarily on half day lessons and casting lessons. These are proving as popular as they are productive for both novice and experienced fly fishers wanting to learn. At this time of year the actual fishing is quite challenging, many clients waiting until Autumn before taking full […]
