Week ending 12/02/02023

Before the restock on the 8th last week there were some excellent days fishing with some managing big numbers and most anglers catching fish. Plenty of them were taken using black or white snakes with a very slow retrieve close or even on the bottom. You could have similar luck with smaller lures like a yellow dancer cats whisker or the best performer this week, the blue flash damsel. The fish still don't seem to be chasing after a quickly stripped back lure but alot of the takes are very aggressive and once hooked they are fighting like mad. Buzzers have worked incredibly well at times also either under a bung or with a washing line set up. 

After the restock on Wednesday, good got even better with huge numbers being caught. Everything that was working before carried on working as well as alot of blobs, fabs and eggs. 

Jeff Wilkinson managed 22 rainbows with most of them caught slowly dragging a snake along the bottom on an intermediate line. Kevin Stepney who is managing double figures on just about every visit also caught 22 with buzzers and dawl bachs. The fish have still been hanging around on the east and north banks and to a lesser degree car park corner but are showing signs of spreading around a little. 

It was definitely a fun packed week with plenty of action and we are expecting this week to be equally as good if not better.
