Well best laid plans, fish were stocked, boats were back on the water & then the weather beat us, those heavy winter rains during late January reduced our water visibility down to below 12inch.
A few eager rods did venture out & a few trout were caught with a few over wintered trout between 3 & 5lb taken but generally sport was slow.
Conditions are improving slowly with just over 3000 trout stocked & a further 400 this Tuesday as soon as conditions allow - I'm sure we will enjoy some excellent early season sport.
My advice is keep in touch with the lodge or keep an eye on your favourite up-to-date mag, UKFlyfisher, to see if its worth you traveling.
Our tackle shop is just about restocked with the new range of ABU diplomat rods 2 & 4 piece rods retailing at under £50 sure to be popular.
