With a change in the weather over the weekend large numbers of anglers have enjoyed some good fishing at Grafham Water. The fish are still in fairly close to the bank so the bank anglers along the North shore are having good sport. The fish are lying quite deep at around 8 – 10 feet down, with the best flies being lures in black and green.
Boat anglers are also enjoying good sport in the same areas along the north shore as well as the Seat and Q buoy.
If the weather continues to warm up the buzzer fishing will start with a vengeance, there have already been some small hatches on the warmer days.
Best methods See report.
Best boat areas G Buoy, Willows, Seat and Q Buoy.
Best bank areas Willows, G Buoy, Deep Water and Pylon Point.
Fish stocked 2,000.
Zig bug fishing for carp fishing is due to hit an all time high this year according to some experts. Carp zig bugs are specially tied flies to look like natural insects, or insect larvae, or simply a bug !
Flash Attack Flies launched its first carp zig bug in July 2012 and since then it has gone from strength to strength in the zig bug carp market. The Flash Attack range of carp zig bugs is now being distributed my tackle giants Leeda, and the zig bugs can now be found in many shops and fisheries throughout the UK.
Flash Attack Fly company owner Craig Barr is no stranger to flies. Having fly fished for over 30 years, including at International level, Craig has also established his company as a leading brand within the fly market.
The Flash Attack range of carp zig bugs have been tied on Hanak barbless hooks, a leading brand of barbless hooks in the fly fishing world. These chemically sharpened hooks are strong and will hold out against any fish. Infact, our flies have already landed carp in excess of 30lb !
When you are looking for Zig Bugs, there is just one name to remember – Flash Attack Flies.
A real big fish catcher !!

The itch to go fishing got the better of me last weekend so on route to Llangollen in Wales I stopped at Packington trout fishery. The weather was far from perfect, very cold, and there was a distinct look of snow in the air.
My intention was to fish with the new Owl buzzer to show myself that it not only works on Draycote, where I manage, but catches elsewhere too!
Needless to say I was proven right. The red holographic owl(size 
did the business, with 4 fish in an hour.
The full range of “Owl” buzzers can be seen on our website – www.flashattackflies.com
The Glasgow Angling Centre will again be holding an open weekend this spring. The event is now a much anticipated show for many with some great deals to be had as well as being able to talk to leading tackle manufacturers about all the latest tackle. Join me there this spring. The event is on March 1st,2nd, and 3rd. I look forward to seeing you there.
