Fishing Report 3rd to 13th July 08

The fish catches for July to date average 2.92 trout per angler visit with 319 anglers taking 933 trout. The average weight of the trout being caught is 32.7 ozs. 33 limit bags have been taken.. The largest Rainbow trout from West Hallington was 5 lb 9 ozs. The largest from East Hallington 6 lb 7 ozs. Brown Trout of over 4lb were taken from both lakes.

Sedge flies are now flying in the evenings, some good surface fishing is being had with pupa imitations such as Amber nymph and other small sedge patterns. The small pinhead Perch fry have now reached almost an inch in length and although the trout are still feeding on them they now require a larger fly. The best flies at the moment are larger Sinfoils Fry and Polystickles also Dawson’s Olive can be a very good fly for fry feeding trout at Hallington. The Canis hatch continues in the late evenings. Boats are doing very well at the moment especially on West Hallington around the island areas and off the thicker weed beds.
