27 May – Catch Returns

Mayfly spinner at Little Springs

4lbs+ from Little Bognor

“The sporadic rain showers, though sometimes annoying, are having the useful effect of keeping the water relatively cool compared to the same period over the last two years. Even so, the water temperature reached 15 degrees centigrade last week which means that even more care is needed when releasing fish (thank you!). The lakes were a little more challenging last week, while the river, after a slow start, provided some notable sport for members.

Some successful flies recorded this week were:
Lakes: Black Klinkhammer, Olive emerger, Mayfly, Grey Wulff, Sedge, Mini daddy, Green Montana, BFD, Hawthorn, Bloodworm, Black beetle and PTN.
River: Mayfly nymph, Mayfly and Damsel”
