Fishing Report

It was a very good run up to the Easter festivities at Blackdyke, finishing with a cracking weekend. Last week was definitely not as easy to tempt them out as earlier in the month possibly because of the changeable conditions. Spring showed up for a day and then it was back to cooler temperatures. Saying that, there were not many that came that didn't catch but the catch numbers were definitely not as huge. If there was a hatch however you could quickly do very well with black buzzers. Damsels and cats whiskers did well again last week as did snakes. The 5lb plus fish consistently made appearances and they are still hanging around up at the north end of the lake which remains your best bet for finding big numbers of rainbows. You could still catch off the top at times with various dries working among them daddies and humpies doing quite well. We are expecting the restock in the middle of the week to liven things up considerably and with the temperatures supposedly rising hopefully we can start getting out our emergers and dries.
