Information
Chalybeate Springs is what is more generally referred to as a "Small Stillwater" in terms of tactics.
As a basic kit list you should include:
Safety First
All rods fishing the water are strongly recommended to wear eye protection and a life jacket at all times and particularly if you cannot swim.
Tackle
Fly Rod of between 8 and 9ft 6ins – rated between 4 and 7 to match the rod. Leader material suggest knotted or knotless leader of 9 – 12ft tapering to between 3lbs and 6lbs depending upon water clarity.
Rods, reels/line and basic tackle items are available for hire if required - please check before you visit.
Flies
Chalybeate gets a good hatch of Buzzer, Mayfly, Pond Olives, Damsels, Sedge and Hawthorn in the spring and Daddy Longlegs in September and October all of which fish successfully as dry flies as well as nymphs. Please remember that it is single fly only (no "snake flies" or droppers) and the maximum hook size is 8. Only barbless hooks are permissable if fishing catch and release.
Sundries
Net (Knotless mesh please)
Scissors pliers
Disgorger
Floatant/sinkant
Clothing
Boots or shoes (Waders are not required)
Waterproof coat and over-trousers
Hat (Not just to keep the weather off)
Sun tan lotion
Midge repellent(August only)
It is every anglers responsibility to minimise the risk of transferring disease or parasites when visiting different waters. If you have fished elsewhere recently, particularly abroad, please ensure that your boots and tackle have been thoroughly cleaned and dried so as to minimise the risk.
