Fishing Report Holbury Lakes Lockerley 30th May 2013
Harriet & Tracy went to have a look at Holbury Lakes today. Fish Wives will be meeting there on the 19th June.
Holbury Lakes are a series of four lakes and a stretch of the river Dun. The fishery is very well presented and very fishable with numerous places offering easy casting and some more challenging places which are no problem if you have "got your roll cast right", to quote Mr Thew.
We initially went for a walk around the lakes and to have a look at the lodge where we will be able to have a comfortable lunch. We saw plenty of fish in the first two lakes which were clear and although the second two lakes were coloured we in fact caught all three fish in the third lake call long lake.
We had a look in the catch record and discovered that Daddies were working well as were nymphs. We both set off with red Montana without success. Moving on to the second lake Harriet was greatly frustrated by many fish showing great interest in everything she put on the end of her line but nothing taking the fly. I had great fun with a small grey fly.
Harriet & I both caught our first fish on a yellow head and Harriet had a second fish on a black ant.
Holbury Lakes will make an excellent venue for our next fish wives on the 19th June and probably another day later in the season.
