With a bonanza stocking of fish and the cooler weather there has been easy fishing this week. Sharpley Springs hosted the Jack Charlton Disabled Children s Fishing Day for the 14th year. Despite a few heavy downpours in between sun the day was enjoyed by all and the fishing excellent with some big catches. A big thank you to all the volunteers.
Peter Appleby from Bishop Auckland returned the biggest fish this week a whopping blue trout at 16lbs 8oz from netting 9 fish.Andy Grabham also returned 2 doubles a 10 and 14 pounder from the biggest bag netted this week of 23 trout, a mixture of hard fighting blues and rainbows.Both Conner Dodds and Paul Hughes used a Zonker to net a Trout of 7lbs and 7lbs 8ozs.

More excellent buzzer hatches this week though the cold mornings meant that most activity was confined to the early afternoon. Small Shipmans and cdc f's in medium olive tempted those trout taking the adult midges in the calm water.Others fell for small,green pupae and traditional nymphs like PTN.
There were plenty of sedge around in the afternoons too though artificials proved largely ineffective unless a warm evening ensued.
The upwinged olives that also make afternoon appearances provide superb opportunities to hone dry fly techniques.A down-wind drifted hackled olive,f fly or hare's ear emerger are all worth a try-but don't expect it to be easy!
