Fishing Report

The weather was against us for much of last week with only the very brave venturing out in the worst of it. When the weather did settle down it was a mixture of some quite tough days and some exceptional fishing with big numbers being caught. Fish have been very active up the east bank as they have been for a while now but the north end and halfway round the west bank have also fished well at times.

 Generally the fish have been relatively close in and a boat has not been necessary. The most popular method and the one that has performed the best is various buzzers, eggs, nymphs and bloodworm, 4 to 6 feet under an indicator. The lure that worked best was the Montana and other black and green patterns. 

On Sunday fishing came alive again with lots of fish coming out. John Blake had 18 off the boat with mostly black and green lures and Martin Smith had 28 with a combination of eggs, buzzers and a pink zonka. It's a great sign that the fish are so active right now and with a restock scheduled for Wednesday 15th this can only improve.
