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 […]
Our river fly fishing has been and continues to be good, even during the multiple spells of extremely warm weather. The water is cool and trout are readily taking nymphs, wets and dry flies. With water low and clear sight fishing is superb. The key is travel slow and quiet, fishing small flies on fine […]
It’s summer already and after 18 months of continuous rain we’ve had several months of dry weather. Where has all the water gone? All of a sudden fly fishers are saying, there’s not enough water, it’s too warm, after saying we’ve got too much water for so long. What it boils down to is, if […]
True summer fly fishing conditions have prevailed during recent weeks, resulting in superb action on the river and challenging conditions on the lakes. To add to Steve’s comments in the above video, the river fishing is epic and we expect it to continue similarly until the season ends in early October. Productive sport to spiders, […]

It is in fact an opportunity for fabulous fishing, fun and learning! Beautiful brooks, streams and rivers are found throughout the country and await your exploration. […]

However, it also limits the appeal of sea trout fishing, as many people simply don’t want to be fishing through the night! Typically, day time […]
Our lessons during high summer at Loynton Lakes focus primarily on half day lessons and casting lessons. These are proving as popular as they are productive for both novice and experienced fly fishers wanting to learn. At this time of year the actual fishing is quite challenging, many clients waiting until Autumn before taking full […]
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 […]
