Newlyn Reservoir

So long as the lake is not too low, it is fishable all year long. You will encounter rising fish all year long to a range of food sources such as midge, mayfly, caddis, beetles and damsels just to name a few. Newlyn is a good winter option as there are plenty of active trout chasing smelt and other baitfish, targeting these with a range of wet flies can be very productive and rewarding in the size of the fish you will catch. Through spring there are good mayfly hatches on warm overcast days and in calm conditions, you can expect to see midge hatches all year round. You can also get some good mudeye fishing through summer during periods of low light. Fishing small streamers, wet flies and nymphs are the most reliable flies to fish, however when the fish are rising, covering them mayfly patterns works very well.
