Fishing report week ending 13th September


Mildish weather at the start of the week saw even more black gnats on the water so the recent successful tactics of small black dries fished at the top of the wind was again a productive tactic.
F flies and small traditional spiders in sizes 18   and 20 were again the best,
Pond olives were happiest in the cooler easterlies that graced Sharpley later in the week .These conditions saw shuttlecock and Waddam's hares ear successful flies.These hatches accounted for the splashier downwind rises that ,being in a ripple,were easier to fish.Constant degreasing was needed in the flat water otherwise.
Daddylonglegs,that September favourite,were good go-to flies and quiet moments could see suspended blobs in a variety of colours,picking up good trout.
