76 rods caught 497 trout for a rod average of 6.53
It’s fair to say that last week was pretty good to say the least. The high temperatures of the previous week had made things a touch tricky but the wind turned, it got cooler and the fish followed suit and provided us with lovely sport and great numbers at a time of year when it really can ‘go either way’
In terms of tactics it was pretty much of a muchness as is often the case at Toft, being a relatively shallow lake its possible to catch fish pretty close to or on the surface for most of the year and last week was no exception. Washing line tactics with a small Tequila FAB on the point and Red Head Diawl Bach’s on the droppers proved as ever deadly, other hot patterns included Hares Ear, Damsel Nymph, Shuttlecock CDC, Daddy Longlegs, Shipmans and Crunchers. The more the years go on the firmer my belief that I could get through a full season with just 15-20 patterns and not feel that I’ve missed out.
