Had a boat for the evening last Thursday. Had three, lost two all on Diawl Bachs fished on a floater.
Plenty of fish around the willows and a good rise late on, they seemed to be on small sedges but I'm no expert when it comes to identifying creepy crawlies!
I had a half-hearted attempt on dries but it got very cold, very quickly and I was off the water by 8.

Thanks for the info guys, had a great day yesterday. Nice bag limit of 18lb 2. All caught around Sams Dyke and back up towards the Dam, black buzzers doing the biz.

Hi guys,

Planning to fish eyebrook for the first time this wednesday (4th of June), will be fishing from the bank. Anyone got any catch updates or tips regarding best areas/flies?
Best wishes
Jamie

Was there on Saturday, fishing has been tough after the recent bad weather, although we did mange a nice bag it was hard work. We were in a boat fishing from the bell up to Sam's dyke and I did see the bank lads catching as well, Black Buzzers and Red/Black Crunchers doing the biz, very slow retrieve on floating lines. Also tried the willows and got a few pulls but nothing caught.

Hope this helps.

Default Eyebrook Sunday

Hi, was there on Sunday, first visit. Fished off the bank, very difficult and had two pulls and nothing else. one guy near me took 1 fish, but didn't see anything else (near Willows). There was a boat comp on, talking to some of them, said very, very hard and not many taken.

However, its normally great at this time of year, so hope you have better luck than me. Great place and will be going back to try again.
