Another very busy week and the hot, sunny weather has made the fishing tricky at times.The water is still clear and fishing well, with black and green still being the colours to use. Goldhead damsels have been by far the best flies, especially in the mornings, with bloodworms and cats whiskers also working well. A few fish rising to dry flies and the mayflies are now starting to hatch in larger numbers.

Pre-booking always advisable, especially for weekends.
