“The mayfly hatches seem to have peaked, though reasonable hatches have still been taking place in the evenings on the river, with corresponding interest from trout and sand martins alike.
Successful flies included the following:
Lakes: Daddy, buzzer, CDC, Black gnat, Mayfly, Olive dun, Sedge, Parachute Adams
River: Grey Wulff, Olive nymph, Parachute Adams, Mayfly: nymph, dry and spent, Daddy, Iron blue, Butcher, Black and green nymph.
Please remember! …. the sad plight on some Scottish rivers, where exceptionally dry conditions have led to many stranded, stressed and subsequently diseased fish. This reminds of us the importance of disinfecting all our equipment after each outing, to help prevent the transfer of contagious diseases.“
