Last week was a lot of fun with most of the fish being taken off the top of the water. The feedback I was getting was that if most of the visitors to the lake landed all of the fish that they hooked they would have all had high double figures. The skill wasn't so much picking the right fly as if it floated they would almost definitely check if out. The skill came in striking at the right time and keeping it on. The fish were active in most areas of the lake also and this time of year when they are looking for dries and emergers you can really get a sense of how many are in there. Even though alot of fish were lost over the last seven days many were caught and the fun factor and the excitement was high with many smiling anglers leaving the lake.
Dries and emergers big and small have all worked at times last week such as daddies, humpies, klinkhammers,shipmans, top hat and shuttlecock buzzers to name a few.
You could also get it done with buzzers and crunchers not too far down.
