While much fly fishing remains as per our previous report in March, there are some key changes for the better!🙂 The river trout season is now open. While nymph fishing remains the predominant method for consistent success, dry fly opportunities are increasing. By mid April fish tend to be rising consistently and surface sport is […]
It’s early March, we’ve run our initial beginners fly fishing course of 2026 and guided our final grayling trip of winter. With the best months of 2026 ahead, we anticipate continued good sport on lakes and the start of our 2026 river trout season. Early spring fishing often has much in common with winter fishing […]
Many winter days exhibit mild, pleasant conditions to be outdoors now. It’s no coincidence that these same days make good fishing days too!🙂 Add to this the active nature of fly fishing and there is much to be said for getting outdoors and exploring with the fly rod right now. We are currently working with […]
Following fantastic fishing during October, November continued similarly, with a couple of twists. Trout very much targeted shoals of small roach, providing exciting sport with streamers, for anglers of all experience. During settled days, when the sun came out, nymph fishing with various general nymph patterns, bloodworm and buzzers proved the way to go from […]
Fishing during October has been a joy to behold. Good conditions have produced consistent action for us at Loynton Lakes. Dry fly, nymph and streamer techniques all produced, though surface action deteriorated as the month progressed. That does not mean fish cannot be caught from the surface, if you are waterside when conditions are right, […]
By mid September lakes were and have continued fishing really well. Dry fly, nymph and streamer techniques all enjoyed their day, dependant on conditions and this continues into October. The cooler days really helped bring fishing on quickly this autumn and we expect this good sport will continue for the remainder of the year. Along […]
Despite summer being a sun bathers dream, our river fishing performed rather well. The low, clear, water conditions made the fish more wary. However, this was made up for by being able to spot the fish, study how they fed, and make appropriate presentations, with dry flies and nymphs. Yes it’s challenged our clients, that […]
Fishing jumped from winter to summer conditions, not for the first time and so did our tactics in order to be successful. Basically we scaled everything back gear wise, to fish lighter and smaller on both lake and river, with exceptions on some days. River fishing meant low clear water, seeing fish you are trying […]

While lakes remained ice free throughout February, much of the month was certainly cold. That said, we had some glorious days too. Fishing followed as similar pattern as discussed in our January report. A small selection of mini lures in bright and subtle colouration, plus dark buzzers and bloodworm all scored subsurface. March typically follows […]
