Fishing Report

With strong fly hatches across both lakes, anglers have been enjoying some excellent sport. Large numbers of Beetles and Buzzers have been coming off the water, leading to aggressive, line-pulling takes. Subsurface tactics have also been productive, with a variety of patterns accounting for plenty of fish.

Looking ahead, the first-day final of the UK Big One Championship will take place on Saturday 2nd May Chatton, followed by the second day at Thrunton on Sunday 3rd May.
