Fished Eyebrook for the first time last Tuesday - we had 42 to the boat including a 7lb 11oz rainbow which took about 20 mins to land. Majority taken on size 12 skinny diawl bachs with a green rib, although a bloodworm pattern on the point was also very effective. Floating lines, boat at anchor. Spooned fish had shrimp and very small buzzers - too small to imitate. Areas were from Donno's (?) cabin along to willows, with majority of fish taking within 10 yards of shore - cast up to shore followed by dead slow figure 8 retrieve, just keeping in touch with flies. Takes were mainly positive.
Great advice from the female warden in the morning - put us straight onto the fish.
