Another good week for dry fly sport at Elinor with fish being taken on damsel, hatching buzzer and sedge imitations. Other methods worth a try are washing line with a damsel booby and diawl bachs or a red apps/blob on the point with hares ear and crunchers on the droppers.
On most evenings there is a spectacular rise which has been starting around 9.15pm.
Providing there is not a prolonged spell of hot weather Elinor should continue to fish well.
