Yesterday the Surrey Fly Dressers Guild had organised a trip the Bewl Water Reservoir close to Lamberhurst Kent. Only five turned up which was a bit disappointing. A boat had been hired and the object was we would swap around and have turns in it.

After a very fast trip on the ferry to the other side, our boat turned up with two of the members in it. That was the last I saw of it. If you look at this
map you will see where the ferry lands. I walked all the way round to Dunsters Bay but not quite as far as the mill. In total I probably walked about a mile and a half, maybe a bit more during the day.

There was no fish activity, at all, on the surface and it also seemed none at all under it. It wasn’t until on my way back on the point of Dunsters Bay and Bewl Straight that I got any takes. In all I got six there. Five were on my own tied version of a Cats Whisker. The last was on a commercial Gold Head Daddy. Out of these I also got snapped off twice. The first about four feet from the loop end of the fly line and the second, probably bitten off (the daddy).

I left there at about 4:15 having been there from 8:30 in the morning.
