Fine leaders with buzzers always produce fish if you fish them right. Vary your retrieve and experiment, but generally slow and steady wins the race. Small CDC dries produce results but again presentation is key 4/5 weight rod, light leader well degreased. A well presented shipman's buzzer can be dynamite too.

That's just the way I fish there - others might have different ideas but i tend to do pretty well generally. Clear nights at the moment - if there's an overnight frost I'd lean towards slow fished buzzers or maybe a pheasant tail nymph.

If the fish are down a leggy black apps can work well, a clifton (see sharkeyP), or frankly anything different they seem to like change!

As it goes dark the LOB* works well......apparently

I've been a few times and the Clifton is usually first on. Fish it slowly and good things might happen...


It's shallow so dries and emergers are always worth a go. Buzzers are a safe bet. The usual lures will pick up some of the many fresh stockies. Novelty seems to be important. If nothing is happening with a fly that worked twenty minutes earlier try something completely different, like a lime green apps pulled fast (!).

Good luck, I'm sure you'll catch and you'll probably hook a lunker.

I’ve fished it quite a few times due to a relative having a static down the road.

To be honest I have caught on just about every fly I have tied on my tippet. And I am rubbish.....

I even caught when the chaps were setting up and testing a huge aerator that spewed water all over the place just a few yards from my peg (they did ask first).

Some of the best fish (biggest) were off large daddy long legs and blue dunn. But the biggest was off a home tied greeny yellowy sinkey thing (looks like a traditional wet but bigger) just lobbed in and allowed to do its own thing.

I also sat next to the swing park one afternoon and watched three chaps (two tackle tarts competing to reach the far bank with huge rods, and enough stuffed pockets to start a car boot sale ) and a complete novice who only cast once every 15mins followed by 14.5 mins of untangling his line. You got it........... He caught every other cast; the other two didn’t land a thing for the best part of two hours. Must have been something to do with the indicators they were using.....

Nice people run it. I once became overrun with giddiness and turned up an hour before the shop opened and the lads working the fishery just told me to set up and fish. The girl in the shop was quite surprised when I wondered in at 3pm to pay.
