Whilst the rainbow trout lakes continued to fish well, the brown trout ponds became more challenging. The river continued to be extra challenging, with only a few tugs so far. Even with the current frosty mornings, large numbers of sand martins are now working the river meadows, indicating increasing fly-life.

Productive flies on the stillwaters:

Rainbow trout lakes: Various dry flies, PTN, GRHE, Various buzzers, Black gnat, Ally McCoist, Montana, Palmer nymph, Grey Duster, Daddy, Alder fly, Griffith gnat, BFD, Mayfly nymph.


Brown trout lakes: CDC Shuttlecock, Montana, Daddy, PTN, Klinkhammer, Diahl Bach. CDC buzzer
