HI GUYS, MY BROTHER AND MYSELF ARE OFF FOR A DAYS BOAT FISHING IN 3 WEEKS TIME TO EYEBROOK. WANTED TO ASK FOR ADVICE ON BEST TECHNIQUES/FLIES/LOCATIONS?????? UNFORTUNATELY DON'T GET TO GO THAT OFTEN AND EVEN LESS WITH MY BRO WANT TO HAVE A DAY TO REMEMBER, CHEERS JON

Hi John

Give the folk in the lodge a ring beforehand and they will give you all the information you need - the fishery staff are the most helpful I've ever come across. Last time we fished early season down there we were catching on size 12 black buzzers and bloodworm patterns over by Robbo's cabin - midge tip or floater. There were so many fish that you only needed to use two flies and even then we got the odd double hook up.

Cheers
Mal

Cheers Mal, that sounds really encouraging was hoping i might be able to get away with floating line and buzzers, nymphs if possible. was possibly expecting to do a bit more lure fishing but nothing beats watching that floating line twitching away

Try this m8; Hook- 12 comp heavyweight, Tail- Red cock Fibres, Body- Stripped Peacock Quill (varnished twice) Thorax -Peacock Herl, Hackle- Furnace (hen, 1-2turns)

To tell the truth although everyone talks about "great top of the water sport" at Eyebrook, I almost always find it responds best to lures.

Even in the floating line only Lexus heat there last year, I had most of my fish on blobs on the top dropper although I had a full team of nymphs behind. I would basically fish blob, nymph, lure unless I started catching on the nymph then I might add a second nymph.
