Grafham Water week ending 5 June

Grafham continues to fish well, consistently producing a high proportion of fully tailed bars of silver in every bag.

Bank fishing can be erratic and a roving approach will produce the best bags. With the water still gin clear it's best to keep moving until you locate some fish, but be prepared to move on as one or two fish played and landed may well spook any other feeding fish nearby. This applies to the boat anglers too, where drifting will nearly always outfish those on anchor (a quick reminder, to please not anchor on known/published hotspots - take it in turns to drift over them).

Best methods for both boat and bank:

Pulling on a Di5 or Di7 with small black lures along the face of the dam from a boat has produced some big bags. Alternatively, twiddling a washing line with a mini blob on the point and nymphs up the line is also working.

"Fly of the week" seems to be the good old "hares ear" so fish close into the rocky banks for the shrimp feeders, Gaynes cove, the dam and the bays either side of the harbour are fishing well from the boat.

G.bank, deep water point, coves point, pylon point and hedge end if bank fishing in a northerly. Gaynes cove, the seat of the harbour arms in a southerly.

There have been sedge hatching near the harbour so dries may be worth a try. From now until the end of the season a daddy - dry or sunk will regularly pull in a fish.
