22nd May 2022 - Fishing Report w/e 22nd May 2022

Another great week of Dry fly sport here at Thrunton, with some great success on Hawthorn patterns. The fish have been feeding heavily in the top few feet of water, so small Buzzers and Emergers have also taken some great numbers. It was great to see some of the veterans from Fishing for Heroes at the fishery this week, for an annual get together. All veterans caught fish, with the majority of them being taken on Hoppers, Hawthorns and Shipmans Buzzers.
