Stunning venue, fully finned trout present across the entire fishery. All Nomads caught on this trip, with Jim McGinley & Stephen Gildart top rods. A variety of methods worked well, as long as fished within the top few feet of water. From Black lures through to bibio, just teased back across the surface.
Funnily enough! Being that this awesome vastly expanding club is called the North West Nomads, the fly aptly named "nomad" caught alot of fish at this venue, in various colours, from black and green to pink and peach!
As well as providing well priced, and excellent sport at Ellerdine, they also have first A** facilities in the form of an cafe/lodge, with plenty of outside seating with a cracking view out over the first lake. The photo above shows the extent of gear they have on offer, at the fisheries tackle shop, everything a fluff flinger will need and all at less than a few paces.
Overall the Nomad Clan throughly enjoyed one of our best days out this year, a very relaxing venue, what a way to spend a sunday! - WE WILL BE BACK!
Hopefully this time with a few more nomads in toe.
Get your fly fishing gear out and give it a waggle at this top venue!
