Trout fishing in July and August is usually much harder than other months of the year. Warmer water holds less oxygen and the fish seem to feed in shorter spells. However, apart from one really hot week the weather has kept the fishing above average for July with a respectable rod ave of 2.8
Bank anglers are having their best chance early morning, fishing the far end of the lake with assorted damsel imitations and dries.
Boat anglers are catching on a variety of methods. Washing line with a daddy or damsel booby on the point and diawl bachs on the dropper. A team of buzzers on a long leader fished deep and slow or a Di3 and lures.

Don’t forget it’s half price boats for the whole of July.
