Ben Knowles of Exeter caught his limit of 3 fish for 7-9 on the normals using a very small black nymph - we are talking size 16 here. It was fished in mid water and Ben commented on the strength of the take!
John McQuire of Newton Abbot caught 2 specimens for 9lb dead using both a dry daddy but drowned and a small Cats Whisker. Both fish took near the surface and tried to wrap John around the platform legs but he managed to keep them on.
