Another good week on the lakes, though a little more challenging. The opening week on the river was quiet, with fly life only just starting to become active.

Migrant birds started to arrive: nightingale was heard and house martins, swallows and whitethroats seen.

Productive flies on the stillwaters included:

Rainbow lakes: PTN, Emergers(Possum), Daddy (dry and wet), Olive nymph, BFD, Ally McCoist, Buzzer, CDC Black / March Brown, Grey Wulff, Montana, Klinkhammer, GRHE.

Brown trout lakess: Dry Hawthorn, Sedge, CDC shuttlecock emergers, Copper John, Hopper
