Fishing Report

After a large restock last Tuesday , there were some frustrating days but also days when fishing was exceptional. We experienced just about every weather condition at Blackdyke over the last seven days and this almost definitely had an effect on the fish and the numbers caught. Although it is nice to finally see some wet weather, the heavy rain on the weekend sent the fish down and Sunday was especially tough. There have been some great numbers caught when the conditions were right and you gave them what they wanted. The best of the bunch again was Martin Smith who had 35 rainbows midweek, mostly on snakes and a couple of days before he had 15 on dancers ,apps and buzzers.

Other things working this week were damsels, foam daddies and anything green and white retrieved relatively slowly with most of the fish being taken in the top 3 or 4 feet of the water

Along with fish numbers rising we are pleased to say that the water level is on the up also. We still have more work to do but the lake is getting back to looking as it should. We may have to close for a couple of days to do this work but as the weather needs to be still and dry to apply the product it is difficult to know when that will be exactly but we will try to give you as much notice as possible.
