Extremely high temperatures meant that not many members ventured out last week. For those that did, the cooler waters of the spring-fed brown trout lakes and the river, were by far the best places to cast a fly.

Successful flies used included:

Brown trout lakes: Shipman’s and various buzzers, Black gnat, Klinkhammer, Damsel, Spider

River: Stonefly nymph, Butcher, Woolly bugger, Adams, Sedge, GRHE, CDC emerger, Spider.
