The great dry fly sport continues at Elinor. Fish are rising throughout the day, especially in light winds.
Bank fishing is still much better than normal for July but a prolonged hot spell will see the boats have an advantage.
Spooned fish have been feeding heavily on damsel nymph, adult damsel, corixa and buzzer. Good hatches of sedges in the evening.
