Tactics
Resident Brownies are cruising the margins with plenty Rainbows
and Blues!
Daddies, midge,olives, beetles, hawthorns, sedge, you name it and it can be found in Sharpley resident's stomachs at the moment. Surface sport is correspondingly excellent! Emerging midge in olive and black will take fish at virtually any time of day though preoccupation with olive nymphs or the emerging dun take precedence at times. If you're not sure when to use one let the Swallows and Martins be your guide, as these opportunists are quickly down onto the water in the event of a hatch, picking off the duns. Don't expect easy fishing though, as your artificial must be as close to the natural as possible.
Exciting sport can be had as the light fails with a dry daddy, shuttlecock buzzer, Shipmans or, more and more frequently, sedge patterns.
