The fishery continues to fish well, especially as the weather has improved slightly.

Goldhead damsels, cats whiskers and bloodworms remain the most popular and most effective flies. These should be fished on a floating line with a fairly long leader - 10ft plus. Varying the depth of the fly and the speed of retrieve are two of the best ways to entice the fish.

The Brown Trout season is currently closed - any caught must be returned to the water.
