Current Tactics

We would recommend using:

• 6/7 weight outfit with a floating line is ideal, or a 5 weight outfit for a bit more fun when stalking or when distance casting is not required.
• A minimum of 12ft of leader material in 6-8lb breaking strain.
• Don’t make the mistake of fishing to deep, in good conditions most fish are caught in the top few feet of water.

 Fly Patterns:

• By far the best fly at Dever is a Damsel, its on the catch return everyday!
• Small natural imitations such as bloodworms, hares ears, pheasant tails, montanas and buzzers.
• Try fishing the buzzer with an indicator.
• Stalking Bugs when the sun is shinning!
• Fritz lures cats whiskers and dancers on Willow Lake only.
