CFFC at Blithfield Reservoir 9/10/16



One our last trip of the season we were greeted by bright sunshine and a gentle wind on our arrival at Blithfield Reservoir and as such we expected it to be difficult.
This turned out to be a correct prediction as pulls were at a premium. Kev Saxton having fished Carsington the day before decided to fish hoppers and shipmans buzzers which raise a few fish on long drifts across the reservoir. As Kev put it I’m not stripping lures all day after doing it yesterday.
this turned out to be the best tactic as although no fish were seen early on they did come up for his flies. Tom Morton fish a small booby on the point and a black diawl bach the dropper. Keith Prowting fish on a di 3 and di5 and had several pull hooking and losing several trout.
John Parnum started on sinking lines but changed to a floating line with orange blobs on the droppers and a booby on the point.
