Just wondering when I should expect the sedges to start appearing. It hasnt been a warm summer so far and its still only early june but due to get warm soon, so am hoping to see some decent hatches soon - or an i expecting things too early?

I'm based in limerick, and fish the Mulcair and tributaries, and the Bilboa.

Also - are sedges more associated with faster moving riffly water, than slow moving rivers?

Tks

Plenty coming off the Inny in the evenings and a few of a few different species on the Lough as well , please don't ask me what type they are

The last 2 Lough fish and some of the River fish I posted in pictures of fish were caught on sedges

Some small dark-coloured (black) sedges been hatching on the reservoirs over near Sheffield for weeks.

You really need a copy of John Goddard's Waterside Guide to identify them, and the times they're likely to hatch.

I've noticed large black sedges at my reservoir in Barley , Burnley, Lancashire. They appeared when there was some mild sunny weather for a few days before the high winds settled in May.

I havent seen them since.

There were sedges in the scottish border lochs in late April. Go figure!

Just like seeing the first LDO's take to the air in spring, the sight of sedges flying like mad things is a heart warming site.

I dont fish stillwaters anymore, but i used to use an Invicta when they were on , and it was very effective.....

Its funny you should say that as I saw my first sedge of the season in April, it was sitting on my waders it was one of the larger ones and more brown in colour.

Yup, that was the very beastie!

should be around now, i saw hundreds on the clyde, In Ireland they may be slightly later but aye, get the green peters oot noo
