Dear Colin,
Please take a look at
Meon Springs - Corporate Days in Hampshire to see our new Corporate video. Acknowledgements and thanks go to Spencer Baxter of Precision Lighting, who allowed us to feature his Cast & Blast.
Meon Springs is entering the 21st Century and you can now follow us on Twitter. We intend to tweet about what flies the fish are liking plus anything else that might be of interest (if we can work out how to do it)....
Our twitter address is @meonspringsfish
On the Lakes.
The water has cooled, due to the latest rain and weare currently almost 90% weed free. The fishing over the last week has been very good but not easy. Lots of follows - the difficultly has been in hooking them.
Small nymphs reign supreme at this present time with buzzer and PTN working exceptionally well.
However, a good fly on difficult days would be a black and peacock spider, fished barely under the surface - no more than 2 inches.
This Weeks Fishing Tip
Fishing after rain
A couple of weeks ago, we sent you a fishing tip about fish behaviour. This focused mainly on bright and hot conditions. This tip follows that up, with details of behaviour after rain.
After a heavy rain storm, fish will come up into "The Cool Zone" created by the rain, to feed on hatching pond life.
Now, you probably want to take cover, if it's tipping it down. However, as soon as it eases off- Get out there as quickly as possible because the odds are stacked strongly in your favour.
