Hi All,
Sorry I haven't put anything up for several weeks, but since the weather turned pear shaped not a lot has been happening.
Unfortunately the rod average has dropped below two and I don't have any reason. Usually it's put down to July Dog Days, but for different reasons - hot sunny days with no fish moving, etc. Fact - fish don't have eye-lids so when the sun is up they generally drop a bit deeper. But this is not the case at the moment, what with all the wind and rain! At least the water level has gone back up again. Funny, but since we have had this input of fresh water there have been no rises to speak about.
The caenis should be tailing off, but with the bad weather they may be a bit delayed and carry on for some weeks yet. There are plenty of sedges starting to appear, but again not much sign of fish rising to them. We also get some big buzzers at the back end, so all is not lost.
Fishing numbers dropped to around 20 per week. Maybe because of the wierd conditions. But don't dispair, according to the records there are nearly 500 fish still left in. Keep trying, good luck.
