Blistering hot weather conditions has seen the fish drop deep at times to get into the cooler water, successful anglers have been using sinking lines during the day time or floating lines and buzzers, buzzers are fishing really well at the moment and varnished or goldhead buzzers on the point will help get you down to the fish in deep water. This has made for intense evening rises though, with the lake 'boiling' at times with fish. As the temperature and the sun drop slightly the fishing gets better and better. Anglers have been fishing well into darkness and and taking some cracking fish.
Some big fish and the more resident fish have been showing this week Brookhall regular
Stuart McAllister from Belfast had this cracking fish, fishing lures slowly on a sinking line in the deeper water at the top end of the lake.
Plenty of fish have been falling to dry flies, klinkhammers, Shipmans, CDCs or emergers, with black being the most productive colour for this week.
Just to let anyone know that is interested. We plan on having a friendly competition and bbq on Sunday the 12th July as per the poster (left). Places will be limited and you can get your names down for it by either phoning myself or Cathryrn or you can use the contact us form on the website.
