September 2024

As we come out the other side of a long, hot summer, we are pleased to report that the fishing is most definitely on the up.  We have spent the Summer mowing and tidying as much as we can, and in fact tomorrow is booked in as a bit of a weed clearance day which will help things along further. 

Obviously you’re here to read about the fishing and, as you’d expect for this time of year, dries, Daddies and Buzzers are proving fruitful, and of course you can’t really go wrong with a Blue Flash Damsel!  The majority of fish are being caught in the top foot of water and we are now resuming our normal weekly stockings as we head into Autumn and the water cools down. 

Last weekend, Chad was pleased to return to the Lodge with a nice 6lb 3oz rainbow from Brick Lake – he said it fought well and the tail was in pristine condition.  Today things are a bit cloudy with a nice bit of surface movement from the wind – James caught on his first cast using a dry fly on Well Lake, and is still out enjoying the peace and surroundings while he tries to catch one or two more.
