Buzzers prove enticing for fussy trout

The Fly Fishers love Damerham Trout

Fishery...

On their latest visit the fishery was in superb condition and fish were visible everywhere. We could see them but catching them was a different matter.

The cool weather meant the fish were higher in the water than usual and floating line was the order of the day.

Dry flies were moderately successful and buzzers were particularly enticing for the fussy trout.

The fish, when hooked, proved to be real fighters and several got the better of anglers leaving us with bare hooks and empty excuses.

The format of the day was ‘Mystery Pairs’ each angler paired with a mystery partner and their weights combined for a grand total. Top pair was Gordon Wray and Nick Webb who weighed in at 22 lbs and 6 ozs.

The heaviest bag went to Mike Slater with 11lbs 8 ozs.

A great day’s fishing with lots of fun along the way.
