Another decent week for the time of year with fish rising most of the day. The fish continue to feed on damsels, both adults and nymphs. A couple of days saw large numbers of flying ants descend on Elinor.
Dry fly continues to be the best method. White/green lures also scored well.
Bank anglers are advised to bring waders to combat weed growth around the margins.
