Hi, gonna fish from a boat at Draycote tomorrow, i will do the usual and ask the staff about the best methods etc but was just wondering, if you didn't have access to that info how would you tackle the water this time of year?

Thanks in advance.

Close to the bank ,small flies to start ,then see what the lake tells me ,see you there ,old fart with scraggy grey beard thats me !
Would take advice from lodge .think its get down a bit and minkies !

I fished it the other week and could only get em on slow glass and white or black Minkie.

Cheers Craig

Well i had a rather small similar fly with a floater cast to a seen fish and that came in at around 3lbs ,nice slim fit fish .
Ealier in the day before the fog cleared was getting nips and follows to similar and a wee classic muddler ,then the sun came out and the lake seemed to die ,think when we came of at 3ish most were finding it hard going except for the deep booby fishers ,been there done that and dont want to do it again !
Hope Severn Trent renew the contract ,it has been a superb water this year ,thanks Ifor and Craig!
