Despite the lower water level, we have seen some very positive things happening at the fishery the last seven days.
Fishing improved gradually through the week ending with the best day of the lot on Sunday.
Early on in the week we had some anglers having real success pulling lures while others had a few on nymphs and buzzers. Apps bloodworm was a constant through the week with red working best but olive also taking fish sometimes fished static and other times using a slow retrieve. On the weekend the fish seemed to really wake up especially on Sunday where just about everyone saw some great sport. Snakes of every colour seemed to work well as the fish were definitely chasing at times and at other times buzzers worked beautifully. We had our first brown out since reopening which is a good sign, caught by Andy Kenrick . It was a gorgeous 3 pounder which he would have loved a picture of but he was more concerned with getting him back in.
Although we could still do with plenty of rain and some consistently cold weather things are definitely looking up. We have distributed the 'damit' and are feeling optimistic but now, we are just monitoring the level to see if it has worked effectively. Thank you to all the anglers who have supported the fishery this week despite the water level. Special prices remain for the forseeable and fishing is good so we hope you see you.
