Sharpley Spring Fishing report week ending 20th Sep

How's it fishing
The Biggest of the week was and 18 pounder netted by Jonathan Howe of Hartlepool using an Olive Zonker and an 8 pounds lead, caught on the Doxford lake.
N Hart caught the biggest bag of the week bringing in a total of 18 trout. Lee Moore from Consett took fish to 9lb 8oz and another at 7lb 8oz. 

Tactics
The welcome return to more Summery weather saw plenty of black gnats on the water. These provided easy pickings at the top of the wind and wise anglers used small, black dries namely black spiders and black f flies.The latter were particularly effective in sizes 18 and 20.
Nymphs continue to take fish too,gold-ribbed hares ears ,pheasant tails ,damsels and the odd Montana.
Pond olives still grab the attentions of both trout and angler and shuttlecock or f flies tied,again,with hares ear can usually do the trick.
Quiet moments can be tackled on the surface with daddylonglegs or bushy sedges.
