RWFF the Big Puddle First Cast ... Welcome to your February 2015 edion of ‘The Big Puddle’. This month without any fishing on the lake we concentrate on Fly Tying with features on the RWFF visit to the Brish Fly Fair Internaon- al, our Winter Fly Tying night and other RWFF winter presentaons. RWFF chairman (Welsh Expat) Chris Evans has wrien the first part of a fascinang and connuing series on the Diawl Bach nymph, commenng on its history, its variaons and an ambion to use only this deadly lile fly for the whole 2015 season…good luck Chris! We look forward to hearing how you get on. To honour John Seaton in his rerement year, we have an interesng feature on him and his fish- ing life. If you missed some of the winter evening events, we report on them all here, plus we’ve a few more arcles for your entertainment. RWFF will be having a significant presence at the Rutland Fly Fair, Burghley Country Fair, the Rut- land Show in addion to our own open day on March 14th so come along and join the fun. The Rutland Water Fly Fishers draw members from all over the country. Club members include anglers who have a passion for bank and boat angling, those who fish in local and internaonal compeons or those who just have a love for the sport.

There’s a chance to beat Graam Water Fly Fishing Associaon on their own reservoir this season and we’ll also be announcing some more events for 2015. It’s not too late to book your place at the club’s pre-season dinner in April (see details in this edion) to see who’s won the trophies and to enjoy a good meal with a jolly bunch of fishermen (aer a glass or two of Rutland Ale!) Membership of the RWWF club, at just £22 a year with 6 FREE ‘Big Puddles’, a packed FREE Winter programme and numerous FREE events, it’s definitely the best value on the water.

We hope that this edion gets you in the mood for the new 2015 season … Rob Waddington Editor. [email protected] 2 The Lake - Report from John Wadham Due to water quality problems in the source rivers Nene and Welland, pumping did not commence unl later in the year and by Christmas the water level was sll more than a metre down despite input from local streams off the land. However, since then, pumping must have been at a maximum as we are now – February 12th - full. Despite the huge influx of very coloured floodwater during pumping operaons the water is now nicely seled and beaufully clear. Hopefully, this will give the marginal ecology the opportunity to re-colonise. Luckily, this lioral zone has not been exposed to the icy elements for too long. At 4.5C the water temperature off the harbour wall this season is much lower than last year. As we know previous seasons, a cold start is no bad thing; as the water temperature in April can only go one way: and that is up! The disadvantage of starng with high early-season water temperature is that, given a cold snap in April - as in 1998 - the water temperature can fall and have a disastrous effect on the quality of the fishing. This season the whole of Whitwell Creek, parcularly the top end including the now aban- doned conservaon area, a very producve early-season fishing spot, will be available for fishing. John Wadham has been fishing Rutland since it opened and has a wealth of knowledge on our lake. A fountain of knowledge, he has wrien a number of excellent books on the subject, including RUTLAND WATER: BANK ANGLER'S GUIDE in conjuncon with the late Henry Lowe. Boat Fishing Report - Report from Rob Waddington The winter fry feeding frenzy didn’t live up to its earlier promise. In fact the fishing from boats was rather disappoinng throughout the extended winter fishing period. A fish or two was considered a good day. Some fish were seen rising sporadically in the North Arm open water feeding on corixa but aggressive fry feeders were notable by their absence. Indeed on certain days it seemed like there were no fish le in the water. The harbour wall was about the best chance but the coloured water in January hindered that also. The few boats which did go out were fishing for Zander and Pike and even the Zander seemed lethargic in the cold, foggy gloom. RWFF have suggested to Anglian Water the idea of holding a few fish back for the winter this year; Let’s see how it progresses in 2015. 3 The sight of a flolla of Kayaks loaded with numerous jigging rods greeted a few hardened winter bank fishers in Whitwell Creek last month. This was a one-off trial by the Predator Fishing Kayak Club. Apparently not many fish were caught. Would this be something to try for trout? It would certainly enable us to get nearer to our quarry. Let us have your views. Watch out also, for the invasion of ‘super strong men and women’ for the forthcoming Iron Man and Vetruvian Challenges around the lake :- Swimming, cycling and running the equivalent of many marathons. Perhaps we should sck to our fishing! By the me you read this later February edion, there will not be long to go before the Rutland Season begins on March 13th. Check out the website for news of any bank restricons this March. Stocking will commence in early March. So let’s look forward to a great season’s fishing on Rutland Water. Rob is a well known Rutland guide and qualified trout and spey casng coach and Orvis endorsed guide. Some members have expressed interest in fishing in Russia, the latest news is that places are geng booked quickly for next year, anyone seriously interested please contact Rob as soon as Members News RWFF members enjoyed a full and enjoyable winter programme this year. One of the benefits of joining our club are these excellent free evenings during the winter months. A chance to get out of the house and enjoy a pint or two with like-minded fishing fans, having fun and maybe learning some new tricks to help you during the season. Big Dave’s Trip to the 2015 Brish Fly Fair Internaonal “What a Great Day!” said the 33 adults and 16 youngsters who joined the luxury coach trip to the BFFI Fair in Staffordshire on the 8th February. ‘Big Dave’ Porter did a sterling job organising this event. The lucky trippers were treated to an amazing FREE raffle. Top prize was a fantasc new Hardy Greys GTEC 10’#7 rod which won by RWFF’s new member Karl Karmen. 4 There were 12 other prizes including a free day boat on Rutland Water, 3 boles of wine, choco- lates, a signed ‘Passion for Trout’ book, and a tackle box rod clamp and oak tool racks made per- sonally by Dave himself. The day was an unmigated success with members and friends alike com- menng on the pleasure of meeng new people and gaining many new ideas, and fly tying meth- ods and materials, and enjoying Dave’s very special raffle. Always looking for a bargain! … The RWFF team descend into Staffordshire at the BFFI. Send your funny capons to the editor. High- lights of the day included:- Marc Petjean tying his speciality CdC’s in ny sizes; Perfect for very wily trout also his innovave ‘gurgler’ fly, this would work well on Rutland. Swedish Mayfly wings which were virtually indestrucble, ed with synthec polythene. Veniards presented their brand new fly tying materials. Our group were amazed at the intricacies of tradi- onal ‘paired wing’ salmon flies. This is a true work of art. Some wonderful perch fry creaons featuring chain linked arculated bodies were shown with some large ‘Muskie’ flies from the Cana- dian North, again these would work on our Rutland Pike.

  • Heriot's Angling Club Outing Reports 2001-2008
    Heriot’s Angling Club Outing Reports 2001-2008 2001 Lindores, day session, 25th March A bit of a nip in the air! It was snowing for a while! And your secretary had a fish first cast of 2001! An odd assortment of flies and methods worked, including my boat partner and I getting 2 each on buzzers on the slime line. Most of the top bags came from the bottom end, where we fished, but we never really got a handle on it. Meanwhile, fishing the top end, one of our rods had 8 for the day, but others struggled up there, and the fishery management seemed sure the bottom end was best. The rest of our top bags went 7s, 6s, 5s, 4s, 3s, 2s, 1s and a blank. Oh, and our top rod... He had 13: 5 more than anyone else!!! -- Hi-D all day in the shallow water down the bottom end. What really threw us though, was boat 11 (not our club), who sat in the one spot all day, chucking out slime lines, slow F-of-8-ing and taking fish after fish. These guys must have had 30-odd for their boat. We saw a white lure going out (which was one of our successful flies) but heard them telling their mates they were getting them on Diawl Bachs. We weren't sure how much kidology was going on, but it's not impossible they were telling the truth. As usual, in these situations, we tried to copy them and got nowhere with it!!! Our club return was 14 rods weighing in 54 fish for 99 lb 4 oz, with 22 more returned.

  • Fly Tying Guide 7-6-2015
    INTERNET FLY TYING GUIDE WWW.Addresses for Videos, recipes, patterns and other Fly Tying related items Issue: 7/6/2015 Total guide references: 3,002 Author – Dennis Stead (Note: Fly Index in back of PDF) In January 2012, I was introduced to fly tying by a group of people that belonged to the Missouri Trout Fishermen’s Association (MTFA). I was hooked. I soon realized that flies to be tied came in all sizes, shapes, colors and names. Well I thought, maybe I would start collecting fly tying patterns (recipes) and put them in a data base in my computer. At first, I thought it would be easy. Then I found The Fisherman’s Handbook of Trout Flies by Donald DuBois. This was published in 1960, and it included a comprehensive identification list of 5,939 trout fly patterns. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time, I could not even guess how many new trout fly patterns (recipes) were added. Collecting fly tying patterns (recipes) was not the way to go. I watched fly tying DVD’s and thought that this was a great way to have the pattern (recipes) and also learn how to tie the fly pattern. Then one of the MTFA members suggested that I search for the fly tying patterns (recipes) on the Internet, especially YouTube. Have you ever searched YouTube for a fly tying video or the Internet for a fly tying recipe? If the answer is yes, then you know that both have more fly tying instructions on just about every pattern you have heard of.

  • January 2016 Newsletter
    First Cast ... Now that Santa has sleighed away for another year, we wish A Happy New Year to all of our members and welcome to the first 2016 edion of your ‘The Big Puddle’. Looking back over the 2015 season, it’s been a mixed year dominated by difficult weather condions, mainly strong changeable winds. It has been an oen frustrang season with fewer fish in the net. However, Rutland gave us some of its finest dry fly and floang fry fishing during the season and even as I write some fine, fit trout are being caught on floang lines with dries, nymphs and fry paerns sll working in the depths of Winter. It’s not been a year for big numbers of large fish, although a good few have been caught, however, the fish are in great shape and feeding well in the unusually mild December condions. Let’s hope that with more than usual trout sll in the lake we can look forward to catching some heavy over-wintered fish of which Rutland water is famous, when the lake opens in Mid-March. It’s been a quiet couple of months from the boats, with bank fishing producing beer results. A smaering of predator anglers have been jigging the depths in search of Zander, resulng in fewer numbers but bigger average size this year. RWFF hope that you have enjoyed the Winter social evenings at the Cricket Club, we’ve had good aendances for these evenings and if you’ve missed them so far, please come along in January and enjoy some great real ale, smashing sandwiches, interesng talks and a bit of fun with like-minded fellow fly fishers.

  • Recommended Flies for Hallington Billbrough April 2018
    Recommended Flies for Hallington A Month-by-Month Guide by Phil Bilbrough The list below is by no means exclusive, rather it is a starting point for anglers new to Hallington. Many experienced anglers will have most, if not all, of these flies already in their boxes. Beginners on a budget and members who may occasionally struggle to catch should find the list useful as it covers most eventualities at the two reservoirs. All of the flies are available commercially from good tackle shops and by mail order. Many of the flies listed will catch fish throughout the season, not just in a specific month but I have tried to indicate when they will be most useful. This explains the repetition towards the end of the season. For example, if conditions are right, a G&H Sedge will catch best in August and September but will also work whenever fish are moving at the surface. Fishing methods are many and varied but in general, lures and wet flies are fished quickly and imitative patterns such as nymphs and pupae more slowly to copy the movement of the naturals. Dry flies fished on the surface may be left motionless or retrieved slowly. For most of the season a floating fly line is all that will be needed but it sometimes helps to get the flies deeper if the weather is cold or if it is hot and bright. Midge-tip, sink-tip and intermediate lines are usually enough for bank fishing but for boat fishing medium and fast-sinking lines can sometimes be useful.
