Well it got colder and rained and the wind picked up this week. Do we ever get two weeks of the same weather in a row ? Tactics changed also. A midge tip line, using the washing line method of a fab on the point and two crunchers or diawl bachs on the droppers was the best method. Dries were still catching, but not as consistent as last week. There is about a five degree difference in temperature in the mornings from the previous week. That brings with it, a big atmospheric drop in pressure and we know the trout dont like that. The margins fished well this week as the drop in temperature has cooled them down, so the trout are hanging about in them again. The flies that caught this week were very varied. From snakes and dancers, to Kate McLarens and wingless wickhams and dries. So really any fly in the box seemed to work on different days. Anglers that did well Darren Inglis 5 on c/r on fritz, G. McGinley 5 on c/r on dries, G. Leishman 4 on c/r on cormorants and booby, D. Patterson 8 on c/r on dries and wets, R.A.F. fishing club 21 for 45lb, C. Stoneley 2 for 5lb and 4 c/r. Trout Fisherman magazine has done a great report on us this month. It is issue 488. Local angler George Learmonth from Redding is heading down to Grafham this week to represent the Black Loch in the Troutmasters final. We wish him every success and tight lines.
