Friday 10/06/2011

Had a fw hours on knott friday after work on getting over the style i could see dave helm and adam (sorry  adam i dont  know your  surname) both info fish as i walked round and had a quick work with dave he commented on the size of the fish we got delivered at the last stocking.

After walking around and lookng for moving fish i caught 2 cracking sized fish both on beetles on filling in the catch return book i could see that in a 2 hour session dave had caught 7 trout on a F Fly and Adam was still fishing and catching on a regular basis.

If you have not been up in a while you dont know what you are missing.

The committe has decided to open the water to day tickets. These will be available at Rod's & Sods and on line. The regulations, particularly regarding mats, nets and line sizes, must be strictly adhered to. Watch the web for more info.

Knottallow Update

New stocking yesterday and were they corkers. Had previously chewed our suppliers ears about the size of the fish on previous stockings being a bit  on the small side. He's saved some of his better fish for us this time - all well over 13 inch and averaging a pound and a quarter.
What can we say about the weather? The last few weeks comments on the catch returns have had nothing but wind, wind, wind! Rod averages had got up to 3 and 4 previously, but slumped again to 1.5 to 2.
This sunny weather has brought out damsels, so try for them during the day when the fish get used to them. Evenings have also seen the start of the caenis hatches on the quieter nights. They are not called the anglers curse for nothing, but at least you know what they are feeding on. Small nymphs (16) and emergers work for me (not all the time!).
Tight lines.
