Default Re: esthwaite water

Here you are bigtel an extract from the fishery report for September.

As I write this report cooler weather has been dominant over the last couple of weeks and with longer colder nights, the water is cooling slowly and encouraging the fish closer to the surface for longer periods during the day and fly fisherman are starting to reap the rewards of this with some cracking sport reported. There are still huge hatches of olive and fawn buzzers, along with sedges and damsels and when the fish are up on the top, daddies and hoppers are also worth a try. When the fish are not free rising try fry patterns on a sinking line for best results!


Hope this helps a little.

BK

terry,

fished esthwaite last sun. struggled myself, but a good few trout were caught through the main basin, and not far down. Fish a midge tip line or an intermediate with comorants on the droppers and a booby on the point. the fish were in tight pods so there were longs spells of nothing, followed by a few minutes of frantic action - two of my mates were playing 5 fish at once and managed to land 3 of them!

cheers
Brian
