Tactic

To say it has been raining last week is an understatement, better conditions as I write this report!  Rainbows  were still taken and late on Wednesday thought the winds turned Westerly, bringing better fortune for anglers out at the end of he working week. Buzzers, bloodworms and the usual lures now worked more consistently. The weekend saw a drop to more seasonal temperatures so anglers were forced to slow down their presentation and go a touch deeper,especially after the frosts.
