Fishing Reports

14/06/2013   It's looking ominously like the pattern of previous summers as the recent spell of lovely weather breaks down into cool , breezy and changeable conditions. The outlook is for this pattern of weather to continue into July at least - so it's back to picking windows of good weather. But it's not all bad news, cooler conditions will keep the stillwater trout on the move and fresh water in the rivers should encourage migratory fish. Sport on the coarse waters is often unpredictable in these conditions but can be excellent if you happen to pick the right day.


Ghyll Head

ghyll_head14th June.  Trout moved deeper on Ghyll Head as water temperatures rose but cooler weather should see them back at the surface before long. Not much in the way of bracken clock but caenis are showing during he evenings. Slim damsel nymphs are always a good option at this time of year particularly around the margins of any weedbeds and in the shallower top end.

 
High Newton

high_newton14th June. Daytime fishing became progessively harder during the hot weather with the best of sport coming early or late. The change to cooler conditions should see things pick up once again and trout back on the surface for large parts of daylight hours. Terrestrials form the bulk of day time flylife but evenings are beginning to see the start of the caenis along with a few sedge and late evening buzzer.

 
Ullswater

ullswater c. steve pighills14th June  No recent reports from Ullswater but if it doesn't happen over the next fortnight it isn't going to happen full stop.

 
River Eden

1lb14oz from eden14th June.  Eden and tributaries have been at low summer level for the last couple of weeks and the whole system could do with a freshen up. Chances are it's on the way at some point over the next week or so. Meanwhile a stealthy approach is required for trout and an optimistic one for migratory fish.
