Hanningfield fished really well for our second eliminator yesterday. Most of the fish were over the aerator line and that's where we all headed and it was a blobfest with the fish hard on daphnia. More than half the field limited so it came down to size of fish and time bonuses and Mark Rooney just pipped Leigh Pond for top spot. I think I was sixth.

Well worth a visit from a boat, banks looked a tougher proposition.

Hi Charlie what was your leader length, spacing of flies and colour combination. May pop down in the next couple of days.
Piscator

15 ft leader - orange and sunburst blob on the point, black blob on the middle and orange/yellow blob on the top dropper, even spacings. Nothing special.

All fish came to one of the orange variants. The key was being within 20yds of the bubble line and if it had not been a match with lots of boats, you could have had 15 or 20 fish, frankly. We put them down with all the drifting, pricked fish, and the ones we took out.

Also a few pods of fish rising and taking nymphs just off the bubble but almost impossible to catch. I pricked one on a washing line rig but had just the one pull.

You'll have a good day.

Charlie
