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 […]
As enthusiastic a bunch of people as ever joined us during March and early April for tuition at Loynton Trout Fisheries. Fishing wise, trout have responded well to lure and nymph tactics at the venue, with dries starting to take fish more consistently late March and into April as temperatures jumped up. Once again our […]
Since our last report in June, river fishing has got better and better. We have run most lessons and guided fishing during the afternoons and evenings during settled warm and dry conditions. At this time of year it offers clients the very best opportunities to enjoy good fishing. Nymph, wet fly and dry fly techniques […]
By late May rivers were fishing well, with good hatches including the start of the Mayfly season. Plenty of opportunities to dry fly fish, particularly during afternoons. Mornings have remained stubbornly chilly mostly, resulting in nymph fishing being most productive before an early lunch and good dry fly sport. June is looking very busy happily […]
Dry fly fishing on lakes is an often ignored technique. While it can be less effective than fishing subsurface most of the time, on the right day, it can be the way to go. When you do get a take, especially up close like in the video, it’s awesome fun!! This video clip was filmed […]
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. […]
As the weather slowly warmed week by week, so fly life became more abundant and trout responded. Stillwater fishing hit a sweet spot where fishing is good and weather is very pleasant to be outdoors perfecting your fly fishing. This is great because lakes are a great place to start your fly fishing journey and […]
