The first half of the week saw a significant rise in water temperature on the lakes, followed latterely by some cold nights bringing the temperature back down again. Despite these fluctuations, fishing remained consistently good throughout. On the river, mayfly hatches increased, associating with some great action, particularly our wild fish.

Successful flies this week included:

Rainbow trout lakes: Klinkhammer, Daddy, Ally McCoist, Grey Wulff, various Buzzers, Mayfly: dry and nymph, Black gnat, Hawthorn, Spider, CDC emerger

Brown trout lakes: As above and Catskill dry, GRHE, Midge

River: Mayfly nymph, Grey Wulff, Spent mayfly, Gold head PTN, GRHE, wet Greenwell’s, Shrimp
