We had another 5 fish on Monday, 3 of these fell to our regular visitor, Charlie McGhee, with the best around 15lbs. Successful fly for Charlie was a Willie Gunn conehead. Tony Jones also took a nice 10lb cock fish (pictured below) - whilst the tale ended happily for the returned fish, the same could not be said for the tip section of his Sage TCR - warranty claim pending! The successful tactic (until the rod snapped) was a Sage 8123-4 TCR with Vision Ace intermediate/S2 head with a small Cascade double. A further fish was caught by local fisher Graham Dea, though we have no further details to hand.
10lb cock fish with 5 piece Sage rod.....
Levels have settled so far this week - with the water sitting around 1' above summer level. This is a good height, fish will have stopped in the pools and it also means not having to rely too much on big rods, heavy sinking lines and flies.
