It’s September, we are enjoying the final weeks of the 2016 river trout season with some spectacular fishing. Several trout of 2lbs+ have momentarily visited the river bank to a variety of dry fly and nymph fishing approaches. Their is still time for a late season trip, call for updated availability. Stillwaters are very much […]
Summer fly fishing on the Derbyshire Wye remains good. The water has remained clear and the sight fishing is so much fun right now. Hatches of up winged flies and caddis, plus spinner falls and terrestrial insects are encouraging trout to feed at the surface. When they don’t, we switch to nymph fishing. Stillwater fishing […]
Typically, the May/June period has been hectic, everyone wants to fish at the same time. Catches overall have been good on lake and river despite volatile weather. With the arrival of mid summer, lake fishing is slowing up for trout as waters warm, trout food is way more plentiful and your fly has substantially more […]
Fly fishing right now is hitting high gear, with good fishing on both rivers and lakes. Fly hatches are good now, bringing fish up in the water regularly and providing quality dry fly fishing in addition to nymph fishing. As I write all waters have seen hatches of Mayfly start up, this will intensify over […]
March and early April have provided excellent fly fishing opportunities on still waters large and small. The buzzer fishing has really taken off on the lakes now, a selection of black, red and olive pupa have produced fish most days. When the hatch is not on, lures fished on floating, intermediate and sinking lines […]
Fly fishing during January 2016 carried on where December left off, with some superb days. Overall we’ve had good catches this month, despite a very brief visit from a proper winter and the weather being less stable than it had during the latter part of 2015. The usual mix of nymph and lure patterns have […]
Stillwater trout fishing is on fire right now, the consistent, mild weather means trout are feeding very actively. Most days we are seeing fly hatches at some point and nymphing fish, it’s like mid spring! Buzzers and general nymph patterns, like a hares ear nymph are some of the flies working well. Earlier and later […]
October and November to date, have produced superb fly fishing and it keeps getting better. Now the big fish are starting to show more consistently and it’s time to catch yourself a big one! Top flies are currently black buzzers, bloodworm, stalking bugs and small fish imitations. Our fly fishing/casting lessons and guided big trout/pike […]
The fly fishing is simply superb right now. Stillwaters are fishing well and rivers are on fire. All methods are producing fish, dries, nymphs and streamers. Checkout the selection of images from our lake and river days below: –
The rivers have been the place to be recently, with quality trout falling to nymph and dry fly tactics. Some nice grayling too have been gracing our net on the Coln. With rivers beautifully clear, a favourite and highly productive tactic has been to sight fish. Locating feeding fish before casting means less fish spooked, […]
