Hi folks

Bloodworm, spiders, various white nymphs, mini Cats, Daddy, dry Pheasant Tail, Crunchers, Hare's Ear Nymphs, Bibio and Black Pennell have all been popular choices of fly this week
Alex Burnett enjoyed a great session tempting 23 fish up to 7 lb, including a couple around 5 lb



Alex was the only angler to really crack the conditions and most folk recorded about 2 to 4 fish, I'm not sure what made the difference, but I suspect that it may have been the way he keeps his flies fishing in the top six to eight inches of water. Duncan Hepburn released a nice Brownie of approx 5 lb and Duncan Harris another beauty of about 6 lb.

Alex also came out on top today, the last day before the Winter break at Haddo, releasing 15 fish up to 4 lb. Today, Tuesday November the 15th was the last day of the season at Haddo Trout Fishery for 2011.

I have been keeping a close eye on the trout and they are now starting to show signs of initiating spawning, so the fishery is now closed for the Winter and we can look forward to some good sport again in the Spring

Best wishes

It was good to get out one more time before you closed, think the difference had more to do with your GT90 Fly Line than anything else.

Keeping a close eye on the Brownies and then closing the fishery on the 15th is working out rather well

I have observed a lot of healthy activity over the past few days and am looking forward to monitoring the success rate. Habitat conditions in the lake appear to be good, so fingers crossed, we should be able to improve the level of sustainability.

Best wishes
