Sharpley Springs Fishing Report
How\'s it fishing:
Trevour Robson from Cramlington caught a 10 pounder on a black midge on a cold difficult day. D Woods from Coxhoe used a black buzzer to catch a 11lb 4oz rainbow. Ryan Barrow used a bloodworm to net 13 fish on the Albert lake, his top fish weighed in at 10 lbs.
J Barrows trout at 9lbs 12ozs was the biggest on the day and Harry Freeman from Durham used a minkie and Medusa ant to bag a 11lb 3oz trout. Rob Chuter took a a 10 pounder and G Maddison
had one of the biggest bags netting 13 to over 29 lbs. One of the tagged fish was caught by Ryan Barrows with a bounty of £500 the other £500 tag remains as a Xmas bounty.
Settled conditions particularly at the start of the week saw magnificent
rises to the myriad of small midge species that littered the flat surface.
Tiny black and browns were taken splashily and were amply imitated with a dry black spider (18\'s or 20\'s). The following days had sippier rises to emergent adults and getting a hook-up \"off the top\" was a different kettle of fish altogether ! Skated dries were the best.
When not selectively feeding on tiny midge,black nymphs and buzzers still account for fish either slowly drifted or \"hung\". Rainbow buzzers are consistently good and bloodworms in red or pink can be relied upon too.decent bags can be taken by suspending the worms at the first marginal drop-offs.
fly box; Bloodworm, black buzzer pupae, black spider, olive emergers
William\'s favourite, CDC f\'s, black zonker and cat\'s whisker
