Ranger's review:
B Eltringham had cracking sport this week returning 25 little beauties whilst E Peacock returned 9.
The fish have been very active feeding on terrestrial insects blowing on to the water with the constant
breezes through the day, giving way to more tranquil conditions during the evening with fish rising
freely along the margins. Small wets and dries have given the best catches with fish close to the surface the majority of
the time.
Best flies: Daddies, Sedges, Invicta, Bibio and various black patterns.
Best bait: Free lined worm
Best areas: Keep the wind behind and keep on the move to cover more water.
