Taylor's perfect leg was the first since the PDC's World Series of Darts was introduced in 2013, and also his 11th in a televised game as he secured another slice of glory to add to his glittering roll of honor.

While players on Australia's domestic circuit, including Kyle Anderson, have achieved nine-dart finishes previously, Taylor's minute of brilliance was the first on TV in the country as he delighted the Qantas Credit Union Arena crowd.

The nine-darter also came as Taylor booked his place in the final of the Sydney Darts Masters, seeing off Wright in fine style to remain on course for a third successive title.

"It's a wonderful achievement and I'm always proud to hit a nine-darter – but I've also got to remember that it's just one leg and it didn't win me the match," said Taylor.

"Peter came back at me after that so I couldn't celebrate for too long, but it's great to have hit another nine-dart finish, especially for it to be the first on TV in Australia."

Despite a Taylor 180 in the opening leg, Wright finished 62 to break and then landed double two to move 2-0 up in a fine start.

The game, though, turned in the next two legs as Wright twice missed the bulls-eye, seeing a potential 4-0 lead disappear as Taylor landed a pair of double top finishes to level the game.

A fourth 180 of the game from Taylor helped him to hit the front as he won leg five on double 12, before taking out 95 and 130 in the next two legs to suddenly pull clear at 5-2.

Taylor then set up a slice of history by opening leg eight with two 180s before finishing 141 with another treble 20, treble 19 and double 12 to complete his perfect leg.

Having celebrated the achievement, Taylor then took out 84 on double six to move 7-2 up, only for Wright to finish 80 on tops to win his first leg in eight and then take out double six and tops once more to reduce the gap to 7-5.

Taylor edged towards victory by sharing the next four legs, with Wright posting a pair of double 18 finishes to stay in the hunt at 9-7, but the 16-time World Champion was too strong in the next as double ten sealed his spot in the final.

Most professional players would choose tungsten darts to get a high score in matches, for the reason that tungsten darts have high-density and wearing-resistant characters.

Tungsten darts already become the only choice of most professional players, because they found its value are far more than price. It’s all known that tungsten is a high-density metal, so it makes tungsten darts smaller than other materials (in the same weight).

A weekend of darts at the Ambassador Hotel and Conference Center saw four qualifying events each produce eight players who took part in the last 32 knockout for the PDC Spectacular.

Last year's winner Dave Richardson reached the last 16 before losing to Jerry Van Loan, with Young and Butler - the United States' World Cup of Darts team at June's event in Germany - progressing to contest the final.

Young took a 3-2 sets win over the former World Matchplay champion in the decider, earning himself a return to darts' greatest tournament in December.

Young's run included three straight sets wins over former World Championship qualifiers Norman Madhoo, David Fatum and Ken MacNeil - where the American left-hander missed double 12 for a nine-darter - before he then whitewashed Paul Bolduc to reach the final.

Butler, who had defeated Trevor Campbell, Jim Long, Shawn Brenneman and John Part to reach the decider, won the final's opening set 3-2 in legs before Young took the second, also in the fifth leg, to level.

The next two sets also went the full distance to take the final into a fifth set, which saw Young land a 177 as he broke throw in the opening leg before posting a 13-darter to move 2-0 up.

Butler hit back in the third, but Young was too strong in the next leg as he claimed the win and his World Championship spot.

"I'm very humbled to have won the tournament," said Young. "I'm thrilled to have won and I am looking forward to returning to the William Hill World Championship this December representing North America."

Young has competed eight times previously in the World Championship, but saw his run of playing in six successive Alexandra Palace events ended last year.

Three-time World Champion John Part missed out with a semi-final loss to Butler, while Bolduc also reached the last four and Dan Olson, Shawn Brenneman, MacNeil and Van Loan were quarter-finalists.

Tungsten darts are popular among professional players, when comes to the big event like PDC Spectacular, players would choose tungsten dart to get a higher score in games, for tungsten darts are denser, smaller than other materials darts.

Phil Taylor's bid to complete a Sydney Darts Masters hat-trick continued in convincing fashion as he progressed to the last four with an 8-2 thumping of Stephen Bunting.

Taylor has taken victory in the past two years since the inception of the PDC's World Series of Darts event, but swept aside Bunting in a repeat of last year's final.

Taylor's 101.67 improved on his first round win over Clinton Bridge, while he finished 47 percent of his chances at a double in a clinical display.

Bunting shared the game's opening four legs, landing a 180 in leg two and finishing 84 to take the fourth.

Taylor, though, won leg five with a 121 checkout before winning what proved to be a key sixth, with the pair trading 180s before Bunting's two missed doubles were punished by double 14 from the 16-time World Champion.

The 55-year-old then pulled clear by winning the next four legs without reply to move through to the semis, where he faces Peter Wright to kick off Saturday's finals night in Sydney.

"I'm pleased to be through and I want to kick on now for the semi-finals and final," said Taylor.

"People have been talking about me being undefeated in Australia for the last couple of years but I don't take any notice of that - I'll turn up tomorrow and try my best but I've got the winning line in sight and I want to claim that trophy again.

"Peter's a good player and he's a loveable character, so I'm looking forward to playing him. We last played in Japan in the final and it went all the way, and he's been finishing well here this week too so I know what I'm up against."

Taylor added: "Stephen's a former World Champion and he's a great player, but he might have been trying too hard there and it didn't go for him.

"He looked brilliant in the practice room but it didn't happen for him on stage, and I don't know if he's feeling a bit of pressure but he's a better player than that."

Wright, meanwhile, booked his place in the last four in typically colorful style with a gritty 8-6 win over James Wade.

Scottish ace Wright, decked out in a psychedelic costume for the contest, had never defeated Wade in a televised game previously, and lost out 8-2 to the left-hander in last week's Perth Darts Masters at the same stage.

But a clinical performance saw him finish eight doubles from 12 attempts, including a 120 checkout and an 11-dart leg, as he continued his bid to win a first PDC World Series of Darts title.

Wade had hit back from 2-0 down to lead, and followed an earlier 141 finish by matching Wright's 120 checkout as he took a 6-5 lead, but he would miss five darts at doubles across the next three legs as the world number four swept to victory.

Wright opened the game by landing double 16 for an immediate break of throw and hit the same bed to claim the second leg with a superb 11-darter, after the pair traded 180s.

Wade then took out a spectacular 141 checkout to get off the mark, and though Wright edged 3-1 up - maintaining a flawless record on double 16 - the Perth Darts Masters runner-up finished double ten and a pair of double fives to suddenly edge ahead at 4-3.

Wright leveled before Wade sneaked back ahead, with the pair then trading 120 checkouts before the Scot took out double 19 to win the 12th, after both had missed the bull for ton-plus finishes.

Wright landed another 180 before punishing three more misses from Wade in the next leg to move back ahead at 7-6, before a miss from the left-hander at double 16 to force a decider allowed his rival to seal the win on tops.

"I didn't turn up against James in Perth - it was like I was throwing someone else's arm - but I've worked hard on the practice board this week to put that right," admitted Wright.

"I still I could have lost this match. James missed a couple of crucial doubles in the final few legs and let me off, and I took advantage.

"I'm feeling good going into the semis. I had a break at the end of July and I was probably a bit rusty in Perth, but it's coming back for me and I think I can go close to the title on Sunday.

"I think I know what it takes to win this and in Japan I learned from the experience of reaching the final against Phil Taylor."

Most professional players would choose tungsten darts to get a high score in matches, for the reason that tungsten darts have high-density and wearing-resistant characters.

Van Barneveld produced arguably his best performance of 2015 with a polished display to overcome van Gerwen 8-4, averaging 101.82, hitting six 180s and a 177 to see off his Dutch rival.

Van Gerwen had been aiming to win his fifth PDC World Series of Darts title, but never recovered from seeing van Barneveld storm into an early 4-0 lead.

Van Barneveld's 14-dart opening leg, sealed on double 18, was bettered with a 13-darter in the second after he landed his first 180, before he took out a superb 108 checkout and then lifted his average to 110 in taking leg four on double 12.

Van Gerwen produced a 180 in a 12-darter to get off the mark, before the pair traded maximums in the next as van Barneveld edged into a 5-1 cushion.

Tops saw the world number one reply again, but van Barneveld produced a timely 177 in the next before landing a final-dart double three, and he then punished a miss at double 16 from van Gerwen to hit tops for a 7-2 lead.

One missed match dart in the tenth allowed van Gerwen in on double seven, and double eight saw the 26-year-old pull back to 7-4 - but a 180 from van Barneveld pulled him clear in the next before double ten completed a memorable triumph.

"It was a great game and I'm really pleased with this win," said van Barneveld. "Michael's a fantastic player and he's so hard to beat, but I felt good and I've got the belief in my set-up.

"He's so good and he didn't play badly but I was punishing his mistakes and that's what he normally does against me.

"My doubles went in great and it's good for me to beat the world number one, and you have to play well to do that."

Van Barneveld will now meet two-time World Champion Adrian Lewis in the semi-finals, after the Stoke ace edged out Gary Anderson 8-7 in a thrilling deciding leg.

Anderson had taken an 8-7 win when the pair met at the same stage in last week's Perth Darts Masters and threatened another comeback after twice trailing by two legs to Lewis.

However, the world number five followed up Thursday's narrow 6-5 win over Simon Whitlock with another superb deciding leg as he moved into the last four in Sydney for the second time in three years.

Lewis' two 180s as he took the opening leg were followed by a brace of maximums as the pair shared the first six legs to remain locked at three-all.

Lewis then defied another 180 from Anderson to win the seventh on double eight before taking out 101 to capitalise in the next and move 5-3 up.

Two misses from Lewis proved costly as Anderson hit back on double nine, but a brilliant 11-dart finish, which featured another 180 from the Stoke star, saw him regain his edge at 6-4.

Anderson fired in two more maximums as he leveled, before missing three darts to lead in an edgy 13th leg, with double four moving Lewis 7-6 up.

Double ten saw Anderson force a decider and the pair both hit 180s in their bid to claim victory, but Lewis was first to the finish and took out double eight for a semi-final spot - despite the Scot averaging 105 and hitting seven maximums.

"Gary's the current World Champion and the number two in the world, so I'm proud to go up there and beat him tonight," said Lewis. "You've got to play well to beat him and I took my chances tonight.

"He came back superbly and it was going through my mind that history was going to repeat itself after Perth last week, but luckily enough I got through.

"It would be massive to get into my first World Series final and I've got a great chance of doing that, but after Ray's performance tonight I'll have to play really well."

As for professional game of darts, we recommend tungsten darts, tungsten is an extremely dense metal. It is also very durable, so a high-density tungsten dart’s knurling will last much longer.

The game, though, turned in the next two legs as Wright twice missed the bulls-eye, seeing a potential 4-0 lead disappear as Taylor landed a pair of double top finishes to level the game.

A fourth 180 of the game from Taylor helped him to hit the front as he won leg five on double 12, before taking out 95 and 130 in the next two legs to suddenly pull clear at 5-2.

Taylor then set up a slice of history by opening leg eight with two 180s before finishing 141 with another treble 20, treble 19 and double 12 to complete his perfect leg.

Having celebrated the achievement, Taylor then took out 84 on double six to move 7-2 up, only for Wright to finish 80 on tops to win his first leg in eight and then finished double six and tops once more to reduce the gap to 7-5.

Taylor edged towards victory by sharing the next four legs, with Wright posting a pair of double 18 finishes to stay in the hunt at 9-7, but the 16-time World Champion was too strong in the next as double ten sealed his spot in the final.

"I played alright at the beginning of the match but my game went off," admitted Wright. "I couldn't find the treble 20 and although I got seven legs I didn't feel like I deserved that.

"It's good for me to get to the semi-finals and I'll move on to Auckland and prepare for the event there next week now."

Adrian Lewis sealed his spot in the decider with another nail biting deciding-leg victory, as he edged past Raymond van Barneveld 10-9 in a see-saw contest to follow up his narrow wins over Simon Whitlock and Gary Anderson with another game which went the full distance.

A brace of 96 checkouts gave van Barneveld a 2-0 lead, only for Lewis to hit back strongly by winning the next four without reply to move ahead.

Van Barneveld regained his range on the doubles to respond on double ten, before two tops checkouts saw Lewis move 6-3 up.

Four misses in the next leg allowed van Barneveld back in, with double 16 giving him two successive legs to pull back to 6-5 before Lewis regained breathing space on tops.

Van Barneveld took out 91 before double four put Lewis 8-6 up - but the Dutchman found another gear with back-to-back 14-darters to level and double eight to move back ahead at 9-8 following three missed doubles from his rival.

Lewis, though, produced a stunning 167 finish to level and force a deciding leg, in which he hit a 140 and a 180 before posting double five to seal his place in a first World Series of Darts final.

The PDC's World Series of Darts treble-header concludes from August 28-30 with the inaugural Auckland Darts Masters at the Trusts Arena, which will be the first televised event staged in New Zealand.

Tungsten darts become the most popular darts among professional players, because tungsten darts are made of high-density metal, so they can be smaller than darts with other material. Besides, tungsten darts have delicate knurling, which make them worthy of being collected.

Taylor's dominance of the PDC's World Series of Darts events in Australia continued as he followed up last week's second successive Perth Darts Masters triumph with his third straight win in Sydney.

The victory extends his winning streak in Australia to 20 matches since 2013, and another historic night for the 16-time World Champion also saw him hit the first televised nine-darter in the country.

Taylor's perfect leg during his 10-7 semi-final win over Wright was the first since the PDC's World Series of Darts was introduced two years ago and his 11th in a televised contest as he secured another slice of glory to add to his glittering roll of honor.

While players on Australia's domestic circuit, including Kyle Anderson, have achieved nine-dart finishes previously, Taylor's minute of brilliance was the first on TV in the country as he delighted the Qantas Credit Union Arena crowd.

The nine-darter also came as Taylor booked his place in the final of the Sydney Darts Masters, seeing off Wright in fine style to remain on course for a third successive title.

He then stormed past Stoke rival Lewis with an imperious showing in the final to lift the trophy for a third straight year in Sydney, dropping only three legs a he took the title.

"I'm over the moon to have won this again," said Taylor. "I love it in Sydney and I'm a very proud man, and a very lucky man, to be a part of this event.

"The nine-darter was great and a very special moment for me. It's a wonderful achievement and I'm always proud to hit a nine-darter – but I've also got to remember that it's just one leg and it didn’t win me the match.

"Peter came back at me after that so I couldn't celebrate for too long, but it's great to have hit another nine-dart finish, especially for it to be the first on TV in Australia.

"I can't wait for Auckland next week now because I'm in love with every minute of it at the moment."

Taylor added: "Adrian didn't perform like he can do in the final, but I think his semi-final took a lot out of him. It's more experience for him and he'll be in a lot more finals in years to come.

"His 167 in the semi-final was absolutely brilliant and it won him the game. It was as good as Peter Wright's 141 against Michael van Gerwen to win the semi-final in Japan but it took a lot out of him."

Although Taylor took the final's opening leg in 13 darts, Lewis landed a 171 score which was followed in leg two with a 180 as he leveled with an 11-dart finish.

That, though, was as good as it got for Lewis as Taylor hit maximums in the next two legs to move 3-1 up, finished 92 in leg five and defied 180s from the world number five in successive legs to move 6-1 up.

Taylor then punished misses from Lewis as he took his streak to seven straight legs as he moved 8-1 up, with the two-time World Champion hitting a fourth 180 before finally hitting back, on double eight.

A 96 checkout from Taylor was followed by a maximum in leg 12 as Lewis posted double six to pull back to 9-3, but a miss at double 18 was punished by the 55-year-old on double two as he moved to the brink of a victory which was sealed in style with another maximum and a 97 checkout.

"After the previous three rounds, where every game went the full distance, when it came to the final I was trying to push and push but I had nothing else to give," said Lewis.

"Playing Barney in the semis took a lot out of me, and the harder I tried the worse I got, and Phil took full advantage. I've said it before and I'll say it again; there'll never be another Phil Taylor."

Perhaps the only nervous moments for Taylor on the night came at the start of his semi-final, when Wright finished 62 to break and then landed double two to move 2-0 up in a fine opening to the clash.

In professional games, we can always find the players using tungsten dart. Because tungsten dart is high-density dart, so it won’t be affected by other factors (like wind, air and so on), that’s quite important to a great event.

Pitsford Water, Northamptonshire
The rise in temperature this week along with the warming water has made the bank fishing more challenging. However, the rod average for the week is 2.7 and there have been some notable catches. Phil Jordan has had several good days from the bank using Diawl Bachs. He returned 20 fish in three sessions. Rick Barlow has returned 34 fish and taken a rainbow at 4lb 3oz. The best bank areas have been the Cliffs, Sermans and the north shore. Boat anglers are finding fish in the Boills and Main Basin. Fish are still high in the water and feeding on the large daphnia clouds in the main basin. An invasive species of shrimp (Dikerogammarus villosus), commonly known as DV, has been found at Pitsford Water. It is important that anglers continue to follow the Check, Clean, Dry procedures in place for the preservation of our environment and sport.

Ravensthorpe Reservoir, Northamptonshire
Anglers continue to enjoy good sport despite difficult weather and water conditions. Bank fishing has been hard, with anglers taking a few fish from the dam. Boat anglers are having most success by drifting across the main basin with dry fly and emerger tactics as top of the water sport continues. K. Harney returned 20 fish, as did Paul and Dave Newham on dry fly tactics. Fraser Duffy Senior and Fraser Duffy Junior and Mick Clark caught well on dries and emergers. Mary Harkin, from Dublin, fished Foam Daddies to net over 30 fish during a two session visit, with partner Pete Matthison also enjoying good sport on similar tactics. Trevor Hall landed the best fish of the week, a fine rainbow of 8lb 14oz which took a Red/Black Crisp Packet Buzzer fished washing-line style near the Boils. Congratulations go to Ray Edgely who, at 87 years old, caught three rainbows on dry flies. Ray has now been fishing Ravensthorpe for over 50 years.
An invasive species of shrimp (Dikerogammarus villosus), commonly known as DV, has been found at Pitsford Water reservoir in Northamptonshire. It is important that anglers continue to follow the Check, Clean, Dry procedures in place for the preservation of our environment and sport.

Rutland Water, Rutland
The biggest fish of the week fell to Morpeth (Northumberland) angler Paul Smith who tempted a 5lb 12oz rainbow from the South Arm. This fish had been feeding on large snails. A large red dry fly was the successful pattern. Prior to this rainbow Paul hooked and lost a very large brown. He fished both shallows of each arm on his visit, managing over 20 fish in total. Season ticket holder Keith Jones took a number of quality fish up to 5lb last Friday from both arms. The majority of boat anglers have fished the Sailing Club down through to the dam with rainbows averaging over 2lb reported. The most popular tactic is broadside drifting with lures and nymphs and rudder anglers with tube flies with fish feeding on daphnia. By the end of the week the aerators started to produce plenty of fish with various lures fished on sinking lines coupled with a variable stop-start retrieve working. The rod average at Rutland has been 3.37 for the week. The few anglers who ventured out onto the banks took fish from the North Arm shallows and the Normanton bank from the east side of Normanton Church through to the blue pipes down to Fantasy Island.
Advance notice that all boats are booked for the Scierra Pairs final on September 5-6 and there are a limited number of boats available September 1-4 inclusive.
The Anglian Water Rudder Match on August 8 was won by Dave Porter and Steve Crowder with 14 fish for 27lb 4oz; second Martin Hearth and Jim Watts with five fish for 8lb 11oz; third Rob Teasdale and Mick Connor with three fish for 5lb 13oz; fourth Jeff Bedford and Matt Bedford with two fish for 4lb 3oz; and fifth Mick Bennett and Ian Dolby, one fish for 2lb.
Week 11 of the Tuesday Night Boat League was won by Keith Jones with eight fish for 14lb 11oz; second Richard Cooper with eight fish for 13lb 13oz and third Mick Bennett with five fish for 8lb 9oz. It’s now level pegging at the top of the league with Keith Jones and Richard Cooper on 63 points apiece. Officially there are just two weeks of the league remaining, but it is proving so popular that a couple more weeks may be added, more information to follow. In the meantime, please note that from this week the start time has been brought forward to 5.30pm.

Scaling Dam Reservoir, Cleveland
Apart from the odd gusty day it’s been quite a pleasant week with some great catches recorded by bait anglers in various locations around the reservoir. Fly anglers working along the south shore and east bay areas have also had good results, especially those who regularly changed fly. Bruce Hodgson, from Brotton, fished the east end with legered blue mango Power Bait and caught his eight fish limit. Jake Dale, from Stokesley, also fished the east end and caught his 10 fish Loyalty Day limit on green and yellow PowerBait and worm. Fly angler Mark Hammond, from Redcar, returned five and Tommy Johns, from Brotton, returned 10 rainbows including two between 4-5lb. The two biggest rainbows of the week weighing 5lb each were both landed on fly, one of three caught by Brian Lees from South Bank and one of four caught and two returned by Anthony Southworth, from Middlesbrough.  Best flies are Silver Invicta, Hoppers, Kate McLaren and Viva. Best areas are both ends of the dam wall, and south shore.

Thornwood Springs Fly Fishery, Essex
Lake two has produced some very good fishing on some days. Over a three-day period lots of rising rainbows could be seen in the rippled areas and some big browns were seen hunting in the margins after the fry. Lake two today (Friday) saw some fantastic surface action for Lee Bartlett catch up until lunch included an 11lb grown-on rainbow. Rainbows are taking CdC dry flies, with Damsels, Montana, Buzzers and Shipman’s Buzzer also scoring. Early mornings and into the evenings usually witness a good rise. Lake one is about to be de-weeded and will change to brown trout only with a beginner’s pool as well.

Toft Newton Trout Fishery, Lincolnshire
For the week-ending August 7 the 100 anglers caught 341 trout for a rod average of 3.41. A very respectable rod average for the time of year, possibly helped along by airborne terrestrials being in abundance thanks to the harvesting in surrounding fields. Fish have been very happy to feed on or near the surface, even during spells of bright weather. Patterns with some orange or fiery brown in them have done well and the popular Shipman’s is proving ever reliable. Both boat and bank anglers found a few fish with the boats edging the best of the sport. Bank anglers are advised to keep on the move, particularly if takes and offers dry up a little. The water is still clear and the weed is just starting to drop back a little. Dries will continue to produce as really will most methods on the right day. It's also worth keeping an eye out for a few early fry feeders. A few good fish out this week with plenty around 4 to 5lb. Jason James, from Alford, Lincs, managed a nicely conditioned 5lb 2oz rainbow on a dry fly.

Tungsten fishing sinker is more better than lead sinker, cause tungsten fishing sinker is high-density, corrosion resisting and environment-friendly, and all these characters are lead sinker can’t achieve.

Grafham Water, Cambridgeshire
Grafham has continued to fish well for both bank and boat anglers with a good summer’s rod average of 3.55 and a lot of fish coming in at more than 3lb. The best rainbow at 6lb was taken by Charles Williams. The dam has been the most productive area for bank anglers with Shrimp patterns, GRHE, PTNs and Crunchers fished close to the margin. However, when the winds have been favourable, Deep Water and Pylon Points have also produced consistent fishing. Boat anglers have enjoyed a good week’s sport with the south dam, G,I,N and B Buoys, Savages Creek, Gaynes Cove, Deep Water and Pylon Points, Seat and central drifts through the middle all producing good consistent fishing. Best boat methods have been to fish mainly on medium to fast sink lines with lures and nymphs.
The Scierra Pairs match on August 2 saw 14 pairs catch 127 fish for a great match rod average of 4.53. The top pair was Mark Haycock and Julian Hubbard with 16 trout for 46lb 10oz. They fished gold and silver tubes on a Di-8 line drifting from the middle of the reservoir to G Buoy/Marlow Bay. The heaviest rainbow of the match at 4lb 10oz was caught by Rob Edmunds/Kieron Bonas who finished second with 16 fish for 41lb 3oz. This fish was also taken on a gold and silver tube from I Buoy.
Third were Ian Watts and Baz Reece with 13 fish for 28lb 15oz and fourth Andy Cooper and Phil Green with 14 fish for 26lb 1oz.
The winner of this week’s Invicta Tuesday Night Boat League was season ticket holder Graham Bodsworth who caught and released six trout from the south dam on a floating line with Diawl Bachs and Crunchers. Sharing second place were Alan Briggs and Keith Gilchrist each with three fish.

Grassholme Reservoir, Co Durham
Bright sunshine and gales made for some testing days. However, a rod average of almost three fish per angler for the week during the summer months remains respectable as the cool weather kept fish active and feeding well. Tuesday brought rain and a cold wind and Mr W.J. Currie caught 10 fish on his Loyalty Day close to the Witch’s Hat. Anglers willing to roam the banks this week have had the most success. As water temperatures rise fish are heading to the deeper water and some of the lesser fished spots like Pebble Beach and Brock Scar have produced great catches. Changing methods have also helped during these difficult conditions with many people catching best late afternoon whilst spinning using small lures and Toby spinners. Derek and his friend took home 12 fish between them. There’s been some good fly hatches early evening with surface-feeding fish taking well presented dries. That said, with flat calm water these fish are very easily spooked so fishing on the move has been key. Best flies are Dawson’s Olive, Black/Orange Hopper, and Bibio.

Hanningfield Reservoir, Essex
A vast improvement in weather conditions as last week’s strong winds gave way to calmer, sunny days. This produced plenty of action around the inlet, where moving cooler water and added oxygen attracted high numbers of the larger rainbows. Nikolai Nikolov caught the largest trout of the season weighing 8lb 10oz using Garlic PowerBait Eggs. Other notable specimens of 7lb 14oz fell to David Fuegi who was spinning and Mr. R. Dignam who took an 8lb 4oz fish. A good number of rainbows over 7lb have also been recorded from the Bubble Lines where sinking lines and large lures have improved catches. Richard Smart netted an 8lb 8oz rainbow on Sunday. Bank anglers on the Peninsula have reported better results from amongst the weeded areas using PowerBait. As water levels are still falling fast we remind visitors using boats that Atlantis is very shallow and should be avoided as there is a risk of grounding the boat. Best flies: Buzzers are Montana, Damsel, and Orange FM. Best bank areas are the Peninsula, dam wall and inlet wall. Boats doing well at the Goldfish Bowl, inlet, inlet dam wall, and Bubbles Lines when running.

Hury Reservoir, Co Durham
The waters of Hury were clashed with winds one minute to be followed by bright sunshine the next and neither being good conditions for fly fishing. However, there were some good catches to note including Malcolm Gowland who took 10 fish on Wednesday on his Loyalty Day on Reedy Bank. John Currie and George Wind landed eight and seven fish respectively. The west end of the reservoir at the boil and Newhouse Bay produced some excellent evening sport with fish surface feeding on small black dries. As summer water temperatures climb fish are shoaling around Low New House taking advantage of the higher oxygen released from the boil giving anglers excellent chances to catch good numbers of fish. Best flies are Dawson’s Olive, Brown Daddy, Coral Dancer, Buzzers, Bibio and Black Popper Hopper. Best areas are the boil, Newhouse Bay and both banks from the dam wall.

Kielder Water, Northumberland
Gordon Scott, from Newcastleton, fished the South Abutment area and in less than an hour he had landed his eight fish limit, then purchased another permit and promptly caught another eight rainbows! Boat angler Joe Thomas caught fish of 3lb 4oz and 3lb 7oz on a Daddy Longlegs off the field at Needs Hill. Other anglers have recorded limits with dry flies taking front stage as the fish look to the surface to feed. Bait anglers have also caught well with worm and Red Power Bait Eggs one of the most successful combinations. On Sunday Lee Hollings and his son fished for the first time at Hawkhope Slipway. Aidan aged six, landed a 4lb 11oz fish, the largest of the week, using a bunch of worms fished below a bubble float. Best flies are Pearl Blob, Black and Peacock Spider, Green Montana, and Orange Blob. Best boat areas are Mirage, Belling Inlet, and Whickhope. Best banks are Merlin Brae, Matthews Linn, and Little Whickhope.

Tungsten fishing sinker is harmless to the environment, besides, tungsten fishing sinker is a high-density sinker, it can drop down the deep-water without disturbing fishes. Using tungsten fishing sinker, get you more fishes!
