The excellent summer has provided us with good river trout fishing on the Derbyshire Wye, where dry fly has been our method of choice most of the time, supplemented by some nymph fishing. The water has and continues to remain very clear, enabling us to spot and cast to specific trout much of the time. […]
June provided a feast of fly fishing, with excellent sport on rivers, despite low water conditions. One of the beauties of fishing spring fed streams, is enhanced sport during periods of low rainfall. It’s our favourite fishing, with clear water and the opportunity to watch the fish you are attempting to catch. This is typical […]

So it’s no surprise that sport on lake and river has been good, with anglers using a variety of tactics and enjoying success. On the lakes, lures, nymphs and dry flies have scored in appropriate conditions, with top flies being […]
April provided some good fly fishing on the lakes. Once again we are busy working with clients of varying experience over at Loynton Lakes.

One minute it was New Year, the next, it’s the last day of January! Time is certainly flying by it seems. The month has seen us guide clients nymph fishing for grayling on the rivers, run casting lessons for trout and salmon anglers preparing for a new season and work with people of all levels […]
During Winter, stillwater trout fishing offers very exciting sport. Recently we’ve dodged the worst of the weather, taking advantage of the best conditions to work with clients and enjoy a little more free time waterside ourselves. Pictured is Steve showing the quality of fish that can be caught right now. A time when many people […]
