Throughout the week there continued to be hatches of mainly small black or dark olive Buzzers along with good numbers of small Daddies, and the first hatches of Mayfly and Damsels were seen. The fish are high in the water with an intermediate being the deepest line you’ll need. On a cloudy evening with a lighter breeze dry fly fishing has been excellent with plenty of rising fish to target. The week ended with the strong south westerly wind s and the majority of the fishing was taking place in the top of the East and West Arms.
