Warm Balmy Nights

Manged to get out on Tuesday night for a few hours up at Lamaload, lovely evening with just the odd fish rising and surprisingly no one else on the water.
Walked down to the barn area and worked my way back with just a few rainbows coming to the net, nothing big but good condition and hard fighting.

Fished the flat area just after the first bay and targeted a few of the fish that had started to rise hoping that these would be the brownies that were around here last week and they were. Managed to land one and then have 3 or 4 others that had a look at the fly and then turned away. The lake was now starting to come alive with fish and they seemed to be  feeding hard on 'the fisherman's Curse' The Caenis. I was covered in them. midges were also making the fishing very unpleasant. A few sedges were about but didn't appear to be that popular with the fish. It's been along time since I've seen a hatch of Caenis as dense as this one.

As the light faded I moved onto the front bank and managed to tempt another couple of rainbows witha very small nymph fished just below the surface. A nice evenings fishing.

Wednesday it was back to my training for APGAI Single Handed with a session with my mentor, Mike Roden and pal Chris over at Curleys. Good session that has left me with a few things to be working on.
Manchester Casting Club at Platt Fields, Fallowfield at the evening. Practiced some casts and helped out a bit. Better turn out again this week Andrew was back from his hols, Sean & Rick were there and Warner turned up he was in Manchester working and has recently qualified as an instructor under EFFA. Nice to meet him.


Unable to get out for the rest of the week but hopefully next week will bring more time

Remember with the present weather conditions in the UK you need to pick the right time to fish, early or late in the day when the sun is off the water may give you your best chance.

Tight Lines to all those who are out there fishing this coming week.
