Not surprised about the weather, I live in the Gateshead area and, almost without exception there's two things that are guaranteed re. Waskerley:
1. It's ganna be at least five degrees colder than at home and
2. The wind's ganna be at least five miles an hour stronger
AND I'm up there twice a week!Comment

Been up today and got 3 'bows and a brown out using fly first-off and finishing the day worming.
It takes a canny while for the water to warm up, being so high, so you need to get the flies down to the lower layers and worms need to be fished no more than a yard off the bottom.
I use an intermediate line with a slow retrieve and little dark flies. Works almost every time

Gan canny though, Mick.Originally posted by mick dunn View Post
We've got a strict rule which says that you are only allowed to have one rod assembled at a time. So if you are fishing the fly , pull your bait rod apart and vice versa.
Its to stop people hoyin' a bait out and fishin' the fly at the same time.

Nee probs - only ever use one rod at a time now. Got caught at Derwent when i first started and felt shan. Me being an occifer of the law an all.Baliff lads just ticked me off. Mind i did not tell them what i did.
Last few times i have been with the fly i have only used this method-its more challengingPersonal best, 12.5lb Tope Scotland. 22/05/2012.Comment

mick once you get your confidence up on the fly you will not want to worm fish I allways take my worm rods up but leave them in the car unless I have the kids with me , Ive found it best to move along the bankside picking up the odd fish rather than staying rooted to one spot waiting for the fish to come to youOriginally posted by mick dunn View PostComment
