Best Patterns
black or olive buzzers, diawl bach, grhe, small damsel, black hopper, olive cdc, cats whisker, orange blob
Elinor is still on great form from both boat and bank. Even when the wind changed to a NE direction the fish still fed heavily on buzzers from 11am onwards.
Most of the buzzers are still small with size 14 or 16 proving best. A slight increase in water temperature will see the larger ones appear.
Pond olives are hatching most days, especially in the West arm shallows.
The arrival of the Hawthorn fly should bring the fish on the surface at anytime now. A black hopper can be deadly.
In the meantime the best method has been to keep your buzzers in the 2 - 5 foot range.
