July 2022

Generally speaking, fly fishing is as you’d expect for this time of year and the conditions. Fish are still being caught but it isn’t as prolific as cooler months. Small buzzers or even dries can be fruitful more so in the mornings or evenings. Don’t forget, we are running a special 1 fish ticket for July & August – for only £20, with additional fish at £12 each.

Yesterday, 17 July, we hosted our first Brick Farm Lakes Ladies Day.  24 people joined us – mostly ladies, but with the odd male guest also here, the day started with tea, coffee, fresh pastries and fruit.  The sun was incredibly strong throughout the day, but with complimentary cold water and scheduled refreshment and shade stops, everyone was well looked after.  Top casting instruction for the complete beginners was given on the grass by Stag Lake before lunch and roaming coaches gave advice to other anglers on the water. After lunch, everyone went back out to put what they had learnt into practice on the water.  8 fish were caught on the day but many were hooked and lost in the fight – honestly, more than we had expected with the weather forecast!  Everyone left with smiles and a breadth of knowledge gained. 

 Our next Ladies Day (plus guests) will be held on Saturday 1 October so if you have ever fancied giving fly fishing a go then this really is the perfect opportunity to learn in a relaxed and friendly environment.  Places are limited so please give us as call at the Lodge on 01323 832615 to sign up – the cost will be £52 per person to include onsite coaching, tea/coffee, breakfast & lunch.
