Hi SB,

So it was you who stood almost alone in the catch returns!

My Pal and I fished Draycote all day from a boat...both blanked and so did most others. The odd fish caught..I had a few tugs..one I should have had but I wasn't paying attention

The hatch was amazing, as you say. We tried buzzers of all descriptions and sizes, damsels ditto and just about everything else you could think of.

Draycote can be merciless when it's hot and still like that..it worries me that we are getting weather like this in April. Today was like one of those awful days in August.

Yes...horrible stuff and normally arrives much later in the year. Now you've mentioned it I'll certainly wash my lines just in case.

Hi SB

When the buzzers hatched were they the bittiing sort I remember a day on Brenig when the flies were like that in the air, looked like I had got chicken pox by the time I got home.
