River – members visited the river on 9 occasions and caught 6 trout including a sea trout smolt and a wild brownie. The biggest fish was 3lb. Fishing a nymph, deep near the weed beds, is the best approach until flies start to hatch regularly.
Lakes – members visited the lakes on 42 occasions and caught 110 trout, 87 of which were returned. Great Springs produced fish of 4lbs, 5lbs and 6lbs. Fish of 5lb were also caught at Little Springs and Lower Figgs.
Mayfly were hatching at Great Springs and Little Springs this afternoon. The fish were rising well to dry flies and were also taking nymphs just under the surface.
