The Christmas Fishing Report


Sharpley had 10 people fly fishing on Xmas Day on Complementary fishing tickets. Sharpley was one of very few fishing venues to open in the North East. We extended this Complementary Offer to the Golf this Year that saw Anglers and Golfers enjoy a relaxed morning at the Sharpley Outdoor Venue before tucking into the 'Turkey'.
Tactics
Breezy,dull, but comparatively mild conditions have kept activity at,or near,the surface. Angler satisfaction has been correspondingly high as rising fish maintained interest. With daytime figures approaching double figures midges have hatched so the occasional black buzzer has tempted trout-especially at the downwind pegs.Casting into the eye of the wind has been a distinct advantage at times though actual takes were within 3 or 4 metres of the bank.
Pulled "dancer" lures or leggy bloodworms were very effective at times-as were the latter, or blobs under indicators.
Enjoy these conditions until the next big freeze arrives!
