Well after a week of heavy rains we switched to a week of heavy frosts. Temperatures were down to -8 overnight and daytime temps not much above freezing. This didn’t stop the anglers coming out to have a go and the fish were (at times) very obliging. Floating lines and intermediates seemed to do best, … Continue reading Fishing Report 23rd January
Despite another very mixed week weather-wise, the strong winds and heavy rains didn’t put the anglers or fish off and a surprising number of fisherman ventured out and were rewarded with some great catches! Many bags of up to 7 fish were taken with the best reported fish tipping the scales at around 8lb. Nymphs … Continue reading Fishing Report 16th January
A great week at the fishery with plenty anglers venturing out and being well rewarded. The lake is bordering on full capacity again after last year’s long and dry summer which is wonderful to see again. Fish have been very active and often quite close to shore. Buzzers have been hatching off on the milder … Continue reading Fishing Report 9th January
Well happy New Year to you all! We hope you had a great break and enjoyed your Christmas. Despite some of the weather we had between Christmas and New Year, plenty of anglers came to get their last fix of 2022! The fish certainly turned on after being rather subdued for several days after some … Continue reading Fishing Report 5th January
Another mixed week with some very heavy rain mixed with beautiful spring-like conditions. At times we had all four seasons in one day, or so it seemed! The lake continues to fish well with many anglers catching several fish in one day. Floaters through to intermediate lines have done best with nymphs, damsels, buzzers and … Continue reading Fishing Report 30th November
Another mixed week of weather with some heavy rain and high winds, followed by flat calms and relatively warm conditions keeping some anglers away. For those that ventured out, plenty of good sport was to be had. Floating lines down to intermediates continued to produce the most fish with mini lures and snakes doing well. … Continue reading Fishing Report 21st November
A very different week was had last week as far as the fishing went despite little change to the autumnal weather. Lots of rain was still around (great news for the water levels!) and a mix of wind and flat calm days. Plenty of action was had with a variety of methods, mainly on floating … Continue reading Fishing Report 14th November
Well the winter weather certainly arrived with vengeance again and we had some enormous amounts of wind and rain at times. It’s not harming the water levels which are creeping up slowly, great news looking ahead to next season and getting back to full capacity, not so good for the fishing. The unsettled weather can … Continue reading Fishing Report 7th November
A very mixed week of weather to say the least! Exceptionally warm daytime temperatures approaching 20 degrees is certainly not the norm for the end of October! A mixture of flat calm conditions, strong winds, dry conditions and heavy showers gave an unsettled feel which affected the fish. Some days there was plenty of hatching … Continue reading Fishing Report 31st October
Another great week at the fishery with lots of surface activity. Daddies and hoppers were the top flies but plenty were also taken subsurface on nymphs and mini lures with damsels, dial bachs and cats whiskers being the ‘go to’ patterns. The fish have been high up in the water throughout the week and floating … Continue reading Fishing Report 24th October
