Harry Foster - Learn to flyfish at Toft Newton and catch a trout
Learning to fly fish for trout is an exciting prospect for all ages and at Toft we welcome you! The banks of the reservoir lend themselves perfectly to beginners, due to there being minimal obstruction for the back cast and with lots of room, a 'quiet corner' can always be found. Over the years we have encouraged and taught many new anglers to fish and the learning never stops - for any of us !!
Ring us to make a date and from there we'll handle everything. We'll advise you of what you need to bring with you and will lend you all the tackle, flies,net etc that you'll need for your day. We'll start by giving you an intense 1 to 1 fly casting session on grass, then move on to the water with advice on fly selection, knots, playing, landing & despatching your trout and answer any questions. Coaching will continue over the day and you'll be looked after on following visits. With 25 years experience we are here to help.

A warm and bright week this week, nice to be out in but not ideal fishing weather. Daytime sport has been surprisingly good, especially for the boat anglers. Fish feeding 40 to 70 yards out are a little out of reach of most bank men. Buzzers fished on floating lines and 20 foot + leaders have been very successful. Most effective method is to fish a large, heavy buzzer on the point with a couple of droppers - just cast out & slowly retrieved or left static. Olive, black & red best.

As you'd imagine during such a warm spell, the evening rises have been excellent, so if you are intending to fish on a brighter day, then plan to stay late if possible. The fish move very close in to the banks in the evening with lots of buzzers hatching of all shapes and sizes. Small dries and emergers very good when the fish are active.

It's been a very good week for the 3Ib+ book this week. Best rainbow has been 8Ib to Lincoln angler Ken Slone taken on a buzzer, there's been several others 6Ib+ and I've attached a photograph of Neil McElwee from Derby with a cracking wintered rainbow of 7Ib 4oz also taken on a buzzer. Some of you may remember Neil from many years ago, when he was being shown the ropes at Toft by the late John Faulkner, himself one of the most accomplished 'buzzer men' I ever recall at the fishery.

Trevor Ward from Dinnington had the best catch this week, 45 fish taken right through the day fishing his top secret buzzer patterns from a boat. He could show you, but he'd have to kill you !
Please don't forget the Toft Open Bank Match, it's a great opportunity for anglers of all abilities to have a crack at winning a grand ! If it's well supported then I'm sure it will become an annual event with a growing prize fund. There's no other one off match that I know of nationally that offers a 1k prize! So, to all of those anglers that thought they might give it a go, please do! We'll be fishing to a 6 fish limit - with fish selection being allowed and No time bonus. The winner will be decided by the heaviest dead weight of fish. Sponsored by FIRE CONTAINMENT LTD on June 7th. £35 entry - £1,000 first prize. Limited to 60 entrants - tickets still available. Book in and have a go !!

Shop now stocking Snowbee gear and their new selection of quality fly lines, we're as cheap as the Internet and second to none for customer service !!

George Todd - Toft Newton wheelyboat user
With a mile of uninterrupted, unobstructed bank, a dozen boats and a wheely boat for disabled anglers use, Toft covers all tastes. Bank fishing is consistent throughout the season with fish responding well to all manner of fly fishing methods. Early & late season, fry patterns & lures such as the infamous concrete bowl, viva, appetiser and booby work well on slow sink lines. Spring and summer, floating lines are the order of the day with buzzer patterns, traditional nymphs & wet flies all producing fish.
Boat sport can be fantastic at Toft with a variety of techniques returning fish. 'Loch style' methods are great & exciting fun - fishing a short cast floating line in front of a drifting boat with three flies such as a Soldier Palmer, Invicta and Pheasant Tail nymph. When the fish are down, a variety of deep fished nymphs and lures will produce and are best fished from drifting boats to give a good chance of covering fish. Our boat ramp provides good accessibility for disabled anglers and staff are on hand to assist with use of the wheelyboat.

Competition fishing at Toft . The Toft Newton cup is held annually at the fishery in the late season and is fished from the bank. Hywel Morgan recently visited the fishery to host the first heat of the SCIERRA pairs boat fishing match. As you can see, he found time to catch a well mended Toft Rainbow! Several other events are held at the fishery including float tubing and club level fishing competitons. We offer discounts for block bookings available to clubs or individuals who wish to organise their own matches. Toft is a Trout Fisherman magazine Troutmasters water and fish-offs are held to decide seasonal winners Hywel Morgan visiting Toft for the SCIERRA  pairs  match at Toft
