cheers dipper.well we both blanked!  .it was flat calm when we got there,and with a few trout rising in the1st bay next to the lodge we decided to give it a go there.no good.the bank anglers were fairing better down the rowes farm end ,so we drited down.despite trying everything in the box+different lines we came away with a blank.nice to be back at clatworthy will try from the bank next time.packed up at 4pm to a well deseverd pint or 2.tight lines .blondie  |

I was thinking about Hawkridge , havent fished there for a couple of years , usually had plenty of success with a fritzy damsel for most of the year there , Clatworthy bit more of a challenge. Dipper |

Give wimbleball a go only about 5-6 miles further for you to go and they are taking buzzers like no tommorrow at the mo.

Fished Clatworthy yesterday with my brother in a boat , there was a comp on and i believe the lake had been stocked the previous day , as expected most people went left to the bottom corner and I believe most had bagged up by lunch . Not wanting the crowds we went the other way Fishing not so easy but we managed a couple of fish down tripp and had pulls and touches in dudderidge but skillfully managed to avoid getting them on the hook , got a couple more in the bay afer the lodge ,lots of fish showing when we left but I suspect alot were small brownies . we chatted to a couple of chaps that bagged up catching many under the trees using small goldhead black and green nymphs with a pheasant tail ,fish coming up to greet the flies on the drop , great day and fit fish worth a trip and shouldnt be too long for the hawthorns flies ,cheers
Dipper, ps we caught on monty variants on floaters and intermediates

Fished Clatworthy today with my brother in a boat , superb days fishing , fish showing at Dudderidge and in the margins of the dam area , fish going for small monty variants ,diawl bachs and buzzer .All fish caught on intermediate line either on the drop or figure of eighting deep.As usual they fought like crazy and were in good condition , all between 2- 3 lb,full of small green buzzer and daphnia.The fly life today was incredible clouds of buzzers and quite a few hawthorn.Only small browns were taking off the surface . We each had our 5 fish ,roll on next trip . Cheers
