“Hi guys, this is my first post.
Just want to try and encourage people who haven’t already, to give Arnfield fishery a go. The fishery is, in my opinion the best stillwater in the north of England. The quality of fish is superb and they can be caught on imitative tactics be it buzzer or dry fly. Indeed in my 5 visits so far this year I have caught 97 fish including 2 doubles in the same session. Of these 97, 85 were taken on Naiad nymph which is a suberb buzzer pattern which has regularly outfished more traditional buzzer patterns. With the warmer weather having arrived and settled conditions forecast for at least the next week, the fishing will only get better. I hope to see some of you on the bank.
Cheers
Mat”
