ecclesbourne ,willersly 17th june

Tried out the ecclesbourne at cowers lane firstly today and
was quite surprised with the amount of coppicing plus
general improvments attempted so far .Met one other
angler who said she had only seen a couple of fish moving.
also spoke to the bailiff for this stretch and he was a mine
of knowledge with plenty of tips as the best times to fish
and what flies he succeeds with.He mentioned that early
season electrofying turned up quite a few decent wild trout
some upto 16 inches long.this water as recently been
stocked to add to the wild populationand make it more
productive for the angler.we didn't catch anything only
seeing a couple of rises so went back to sign out of the
checking station on studying past visits patterns could
be seen between successful and unsuccessful visits so
next time we will better prepared to catch some fish
with the advice offered.

onto willersly castle ,the weather was very changable with
swirling wind one minute followed by calm then sunshine
then rain the next.fishing was not brilliant but we managed
three fish each matched by the number of drinks from the
kelly kettle because the water felt a little cooler today.

all my trout came on the grizzly wulff but the
effectiveness of this fly did not match the visit
two days previous.all in all not a bad day but
hope for a bit of water soon to liven things up.
