Weekly report – 29 June 2020

Last week was a funny one weather-wise which reflected in the fishing.  Earlier in the week it was very bright and warm, which whilst nice for the partners who came along to enjoy the scenery, it did reflect with the fishing being more challenging - this is where fishing to the conditions is really important.  Spring Lake is 24ft deep so the fish will be down at 18ft +.  Fishing deep with a slow retrieve proved to be essential for a good catch, particularly using black buzzers on your main fly, with some catching on a Daddy at the top of a very long leader!  As always blue flash damsels proved popular, particularly in the evenings.  Again our Saturday morning 5am early opening proved popular and well received with several anglers catching well before the usual 7.30am start!  The end of the week has brought some cooler weather, cloud cover and slight winds which has reflected in the fishing somewhat picking up.  The forecast for the following week is looking to continue on the cooler and cloudier side so there should be some good fishing.  Despite the warmer weather we are currently still managing to get a stock in weekly so as always there are plenty of fish to be caught!
