The cold snap on the North East Coast simply meant the best buzzer hatches were to be had later in the day and that there was an increased need to fish bloodworm imitations and well-sunk lures.
Afternoon sun at Sharpley though, encouraged huge cinnamon sedge to put in an appearance and the smattering of late olives resulted in plenty of dry fly action. The cool weather saw sport on the upwind pegs giving the best evening sport and emergent hare's ears and black midge patterns proved their worth-giving superb late-season fishing in the sunshine!
