Latest Fishing Report and the Fly Box
Sharpley Springs Fishing Report
Hows it Fishing
The mixed warmer more Tropical weather has driven fish down to cooler depths.
Top of the water action begins at 6.30 am till about 10 am and then best again from 6.00pm until dusk.
Local Lee Dodds from Haswell caught a fine 10lb 8oz Rainbow trout on an Olive Buzzer.
John Hartland from Billingham netted 13 fish for 30lbs. Colin Pearson took a 7 pounder.
Rod Average
3.5
Tactics
There have been some good hatches of Caenis some evenings giving great sport to those wiling to fish dun,spinner or cluster patterns on long,fine leaders.For anglers not keen on fishing such small flies,sedges tend to be about at the same time,so cdc sedges or perhaps a pulled invicta should secure a trout or two.
Morning midge hatches were consistent-on all but the stormiest days-with olive remaining the main colour and the afternoon pond olive emergences resulted in more splashy rises close to the margins.Upwinged imitations and pale olive shuttlecocks fared well.
There are more and more damsels about too so a pulled nymph is a good go-to bet.It won't be long till the marginal brownies are hurling themselves at the adults.
