Another steady week with anglers having to work hard for their fish and a slightly improved rod average of 2.4
On less windy days there are good numbers of fish moving to damsel nymphs and adults.
Top of the wind still best in the clearer water.
Cooler weather plus the longer nights will drop the temperature of the surface layer to encourage more prolonged feeding.
We are now over half way through the summer doldrums!
