How's it fishing
Still plenty of eager risers and the calmish conditions have had a lot of smallish midge hatching
Bernard MC Kewon from Meadowfield returned The only recorded double this week a 10 pounder using a black /green Zonker.
Mal Proudlock from Catchgate returned a 7 lb 9 oz trout for a bag of seven fish, Paul Runec from Middlesbrough used an olive worm to return a 5 lb 6 oz trout.
Plenty of big bags netted this week the biggest returned by Edd Dunbar from Washington using a buzzer returned 20 fish also Shane Allison from Stanley with 17 and Paul Marsham from Chester with 16 on dries. David Leonard from Felling returned 18 on hoppers and another great catch from John Bird from Seaham returning 18 from a bag of 19 Trout.

Tactics
Still plenty of eager risers and the calmish conditions have had a lot of smallish midge hatching.
Small dries have again been very successful with tiny f flies and gnatty patterns good for the adult feeders and both shipmans and palomino midge,hanging in the surface film, effective for trout sipping down emergers.
Some large Cinnamon sedge are fluttering about in late afternoon warmth too so a big muddler or CDC sedge can afford great fun.
The usual lures are working their magic too with zonkers,dancers and blobs all reliable additions to a cast.
Fly box:
Olive shipmans
Black palomino
Hares ear emerger
Daddies/hoppers
