Tues 29th. Llyn Derwen (smallish lake on a farm outside Ruthin, N.
Wales.) Cold E. wind. Arrived about 10am to see fish rising
everywhere! Large black buzzers coming off. Tried the usual Shipman's
floating buzzer (works well at Farmoor) - not a thing. Swapped to a
suspender buzzer, lots of swirls, some takes and quite regular hook-ups.
1st 3 fish all over 2lb in lovely condition. Switched to cul-de-c
emerger buzzer - good fish 1st cast, but cul-de-c no longer kept the
buzzer up - despite amadou etc (what is the answer?). Decided to see if
any were feeding sub-surface so put on 2 black buzzers at about 4 ft
and 10 ft. Takes virually every cast, but only at long distance. All
hook-ups were on the dropper - except I even manged to hook 2 at once. A
2lb rainbow took the dropper and when getting it close to the net I saw
another fish swirling around. Managed to net and release the 1st fish
(rainbow) and then net and release the 2nd - tiger trout. Rise continued
all morning but stopped around lunch time - no takes at all after that.
All trout released in the water - barbless hooks are compulsory.

Opening day at Farmoor 1 on Friday - going by past experience I will be
lucky to see/touch/hook/land any at all (although the cttee said they
would stock before opening this year!)

Tight lines,
