Fishing Report 1st to 13th July 2010
The hot weather continued for most of the first week of July, incoming cold water from Kielder and Catcleugh is continuing to keep water temperatures lower at Hallington than they would otherwise be. The water levels have now stopped dropping and are now stable. The inlet flows into the reservoirs are producing most of the trout being taken. The number of anglers fishing in the evenings has remained low despite some good bags of trout being taken especially after eight in the evening when big hatches of fly are producing good rises of fish. This was especially so on the West Reservoir where the catch and release rules allows up to twelve trout to be caught, six of which must be returned. On the East reservoir the runner area has fished consistently well to small lures on floating and intermediate lines.
