We had less anglers on the banks last week which is not surprising with the wintry weather but the ones that did come experienced some great sport. I'm very happy to say that the fish have, at last, started to feed and fishing has very much improved. There was another restock on November 30th but the majority of the fish caught were from earlier restockings.
It took a while for the fish to wake up this autumn but I think we are finally there. With a few frosty mornings under our belts the water is good and cold and the fish are starting to chase a bit. Cats whiskers did very well last week as did many of the white lures all the way up to a snake. Eggs have performed well also. Bob Gurnham used both to good effect, catching twelve on a combination of the two. Malcolm Cole also had a good day on Thursday in rainy conditions, catching seven, all on cats whiskers.
There was no need for a boat last week as the fish were not usually very far out and often hanging around just in front of the reed beds.
We are expecting the newly stocked fish to join the party soon and add to the fun so see you on the banks. Pic is of James Gorricks catch also capturing the setting of the lake too.
