West will eventually regain


trumps, but there are still three on the table, so he can draw the outstanding trumps and claim his contract with the established winners in the black suits.

Stonyhurst College XI 131 for 9.


Dave Wilcock’s X I175 for 6


WITH a name like John Pauli, you might think that Whalley’s overseas amateur might have a divine right to play well at Stonyhurst. The College’s Oval, pos­


sibly one of the most pic­ turesque grounds in the country, was the setting for this 40-over friendly on Sunday, and it was domin­ ated by the Australian. Wilcock’s side started


slowly, with College openers Kevin Riley and Stephen Poole on top. They soon reduced the visitors to 23 for 3 with some accurate bowling. Pauli joined opening bat


Derek Higginbothan and the pair put on 70 before the latter fell to Charlie Connor for 51. Pauli then took a grip on the game and was unlucky to finish the innings unbeaten on 96. His innings included six 6’s, one of which was hit high on to the pavillion roof. Stonyhurst’s opening


batsmen, Richard Hay- hurst, and Paul Flood began steadily until the former was bowled by an in-swinging full toss from Simon Gorton. Things looked ominous for Wilcock's men when


teacher Kim Norkett joined Flood and looked in command until Norkett pulled at a short ball from Mark Shuttleworth and was well caught by Pauli. Stonyhurst’s chances of winning looked at an end when Flood was unlucky to be run out as he slipped when turning and could not regain his ground. The school .side did not help their cause as Flood’s was the first of four run outs. Dave Wilcock’s XI: D. Higginbotham 51, I. Bos­ well 3, P. Bradley 3, D. Wilcock 0, J. Pauli 96 n.o., S.

So how do we fish these buzzers, which can hatch any time of the day,- but mainly in the early mornings and late evenings? If there are no signs of fish activity on the sur­


Bronte, who are based in Keighley, were playing :


just under the surface. Cast them out, retrieve about a yard of line to straighten the leader and then leave them. Don’t strip in. Watch the line and, if it twitches, tighten and a fish should be hooked. A point to note here is the type of rise. A lot of


face. They can be fished off a fast-sinking line, especially in bright conditions when the fish may be taking the pupae as they rise from the mud of the lake bed. But when the fish start showing on the surface, change over to a full-floating line and a long leader of about 15 feet. If the water surface is fiat-calm, treat the leader to make it. sink just under the surface, leaving the buzzers either in or

anglers seeing a rise automatically think the fish are taking flics off the surface. Not true. A splashy rise will denote a fly being taken from the surface. A porpoise-type rise, as previously mentioned, is made by fish taking the buzzer in the water film, and a bulging rise the fish are taking under the surface. At times the fish will be very selective, and the current depth is very important for success. A matter of inches in depth may make all the differ­ ence. Once you are able to tell which rise is which, you can adapt your tactics to suit. These buzzers should be tied on a hook with a


curved shank rather than a straight shank, as the natural insect has a curved body. If you don’t tie your own flies, make sure in the ones you buy the body of the fly is tied round the hook bend to simu­ late the natural curve. The tail should have a few white strands to represent the caudal fin of the pupae, along with similar tufts at the head. These represent the breathing filaments. Make up the leader of 41b breaking strain nylon and I like a nine-inch length of power gum between the leader t and the line. This helps to cushion any savage


i water is ideal for this type of fishing. Some large fo trout will be taken in the. late evenings when they


llow the pupae to the surface.- ■ w . • - "...

and Jim Gilder tells me he is providing evening sessions from 6 to 10 p.m.. This fishery should pro­ duce excellent bags of trout on the buzzer, as this
