Flies of the Month
My pick for some useful flies for April |
||
|
But it's a great time to be fishing as you can visit some of the big name rivers and have them to yourself!!
Adams Parachutes are deadly when there are mayflies about, and if they don't work try a smaller size, or change to another pattern until you find one the fish will take. Use long fine leaders and tippet and delicate presentations. It's a nice time to be fishing, but remember the fish have seen many fisherman so go small and have fun! |

The
last month of the main summer season; April see a return of the Mayfly as
the weather cools. Terrestrial activity slows as the frosts arrive and the
days are much shorter.
