Fishing Report 13th June 2022

Notes

Last week was another largely warm one, but we did at times have a rather chilly wind alongside. Water temperatures have remained steady with no further rises this week and, with that, the fish have stayed happy and feeding heavily on naturals. Buzzers continue to hatch along with the damsels which are now starting to … Continue reading Fishing Report 13th June 2022 »
