The fly that has had the most success this month, was the brown bead-head woolly bugger (similar to the April Fly of the Month). Other successful flies were green bead-head woolly buggers, black nymphs and midge patterns.

The weather has still been cold with about 38 mm rain recorded for the month. Uncle Billy's has also experienced some very windy conditions. Quite a few bigger fish have been caught during the latter part of August, up to 3½kg.
