The last few weeks of our river trout season provide excellent fly fishing opportunities which are surprisingly, often ignored by many anglers. This early to mid autumn period is when brown trout often go on a feeding binge as temperatures cool and they prepare for spawning during late autumn when fishing has ended. With this […]
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. […]
April provided some good fly fishing on the lakes. Once again we are busy working with clients of varying experience over at Loynton Lakes. Lures and nymphs dominated catch returns but a few milder days in late April saw the appearance of a few Hawthorn flies and at last we experienced a bit of dry […]
The early weeks of spring have given us conditions as diverse as mid winter and mid summer, plus everything in between. So typical early spring! Clients joining us for private lessons and our very popular beginners courses have enjoyed a fabulous time at Loynton Lakes, as you can see from the above photo. General lure […]
Thank goodness for our wonderful stillwater fly fishing during winter! At least we’ve been able to run lessons on days when the weather was not too extreme at our Loynton Trout Fishery base. Half day’s and casting lessons have been popular this month, though we had to reschedule a few due to conditions. Well it […]
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 […]
Late summer has treated us to good fishing on the river, often while taking in stunning evening skies. The bad news is we have only 6 weeks of our 2021 river trout season remaining. The good news is, we have 6 weeks of our 2021 river trout season remaining! Often some of the season’s best […]
June is a hectic month and this year has been typical we are delighted to say. It’s been fantastic to share time waterside with so many people, catching up with familiar faces and meeting new ones. Fly fishing lakes was a month of 2 halves. First half of June saw action slow dramatically in classic […]

Lessons, courses, guided days and group days for up to 5 people are all running successfully in accordance with Covid guidance. Fishing wise, the lakes are fishing well with the cooler weather. We’ve had a massive […]
