Mayfly are up nicely and fish are moving to the flies. You’ll see some surface action to the Mayfly throughout the day which keeps our interesting. Buzzer didn’t really make an appearance though. We hardly saw any buzzers.

Started on the Mayfly dries first drift and rose a few fish and caught one by 9:30am. It was a nice start but we wanted to see if the bigger fish were still making an appearance to the buzzers, so we headed down the lake. On the way down we tried another few dry fly drifts in different spots and took another to the dries. Missed a few also where they splashed at the dries but didn’t connect.

Early afternoon we started buzzers down the lake. There were light hatches of olives but hardly any buzzers to be seen. It was very cold too but the bays were sheltered nicely, and not much boat pressure, so the drifts were lovely. But not a touch or fish moving down there.

Eventually we headed back up the lake and took a few more, two to dries and one to wets. Fish were average size in general and good sport.

So, looks like there’s plenty of decent Mayfly action to be had. Hearing great reports too depending on conditions, with plenty of boats catching. Buzzer remains sporadic and very condition dependant, and even then it’s a case of keeping the head down for your fish.

Talking about Fly hatches… the yellow fly in the pic landed in our boat. It might be a yellow sally? 🤔 No idea . It landed in the boat and was very yellow and unlike what we’re used to seeing down there. Photo attached.

Looking forward to the next trip.
