Fly Fishing In The Heat

[mick1726 0]

Any tips on fly fishing in this heat,ive been out a couple of times and noticed no risers, so i thought this was due to the weather, so tried wets and gold head nymphs with little success .I only been fishing a single on point on the river between 2ft -6ft in places usually late afternoon /evening.

any help would be great thanks.

Fish DEEP until the water cools down in the evening, then enjoy the evening rise

1st and last couple of hours of light in these condition. Deeper shaded pools if you're on the river ;-)

Yeh fish very deep especially if it is very bright.

 

Try a sinker and a lure, you should be able to get an idea of the depth they are at.

As above or try fishing the faster water with goldheads (upstream).

I find if its pressurised water then a small copper beaded nymph can work better than a gold head. Or a black bead equally. I figure the fish have seen quite a few gold beads flying past them and the duller colour is less likely to spook them. Sometimes though, trout can just switch off through certain points in the day, particularly in hot weather, best to try again late evening or early morning

whereabouts in co durham you fishing ? ive fished a lot in this area.

In hot low water conditions the fish can sulk in the deeper pools and can be lethargic as the water becomes stale. A drop in temperature and a freshet brings them on again ;-)
