New Season

With the new season up and running and knothallow stocked the fishing has been a bit challenging for the first couple of weeks,with the wind blowing hard.

But when the wind  dropped then the fish have been looking up and the rod average is healthy,Albert petigrew and his mate Jimmy have been having a lot of success with small spider patterns and later on bibios and black hoppers

Adam has been catching lots of fish on diawl bach  and  other small nymphs and even i got into the action catching fish on the ever reliable beetle patterns.

The tarn is fishing really well so if you haven't fished yet this year have a look up as the fishery is on top form at the moment
