With the continued warm weather the buzzer hatches are still good. Fish are being taken on black or green buzzers, hares ear and pheasant tail nymph (green) also catching well.
Floating lines seem to have the edge if fished across the breeze, but lures on intermediate also catching. Pitsford Pea and Montana are doing well. Fish can still be taken in the sunshine but deeper.

We are currently experiencing water levels below 70% at Ravensthorpe Reservoir and Pitsford Water. Due to the risk of soft mud fishing will not be available from some bank areas, boat fishing is unaffected.
At Pitsford Water there are eleven areas currently identified where bank fishing will not be available and a separate map is available from the Fishing Lodge which shows these. Boat fishing will continue as normal and boats are available, but please book to avoid disappointment.For the latest information on low water fishing restrictions go to our website http://www.anglianwater.co.uk/leisure
