Plenty of fish rising in the morning with fish being taken on dries or washing line technique. Most afternoons are slower with the fish having filled themselves on adult damsels or nymphs.
However a great evening rise from 9pm onwards sees the fish back on top taking emerging buzzers and sedges.
Water remains superbly clear with fish fighting extremely hard. I’ve lost count of the number of anglers who got broken last week!
Boats continue to get the good bags although plenty of bank anglers are managing 3 or 4 fish during the day, more if they stay for the evening rise.
