Hello everyone,
I hope you are all well. We had some quite heavy
downpoors last week. It certainly proved very different weather from the lovely
sunshine we experienced in April. Having said that we still had lots of keen
anglers come and pay us a visit.
Main Lake (pleasure)
Ryan one of our residents at the fisheries played a
blinder in the week when he bagged 198lb of bream, skimmers,
roach, perch and carp. Ryans set up was a 12 foot feed rod with a drennan grip
mesh feeder and 8lb braid. His ground bait was 3/4 ringers dark, 3/4ringers bag
up mix, 3/4 special G with caster pinkies and red maggot with a little liquid
365 mixed together. Ryan added chopped worm in the feedeer and put worm and red
maggot on his hook. His hook length was 4lb with a B911. Quite a few other
anglers did well also. Jack and his brother (two regulars) had a good 40lb plus
bag each. Terry Parker also had a good day catching about a nice 30lb bag of
silvers.
Doughnut Lake (pleasure)
This lake is fishing well at the moment. Quite a
few anglers have reported good catches. There was an angling club match on
Saturday. Thirty five members turned up to have some sport. The winner of the
match, who fished from peg 102 caught a nice 40lb bag of fish. The best bag
of the week went to Mr. Colin Peevse who caught a nice 80lb bag of fish using
paste corn and pellet.
Main Lake (carp)
Quite a few carp have been
caught this week. Quite a few of our serious carpers have paid us a visit. As
you know from these reports there have been some fantastic catches verified and
photographed already this season. However, the larger fish were in short supply
this week and the biggest catch of the week was a mere 26lb mirror. Anglers
tried a range of different baits to try and tempt the fish. The most successful
pegs were 56/57, 71/72, 87/88 and 61/62. Tony Ashworth (who rarely fishes in
the summer) tried his luck this week and caught 2 15lb commons. According to
our catch returns the following carp were brought to the bank - 12lb common,
16lb mirror, 13lb grass. 14lb leather, 10lbn mirror, 10lb mirror, 11lb mirror,
10lb mirror, 12lb ghostie, 15lb common, 21lb common and 16lb
common.
Fly Lake
The trout fishing has been very good for some
anglers with just three flys working best, namely cats whisker, bloodworm, and
hares ears. Quite a few anglers have reported catching more than 20 fish in
each session. On Tuesday and Wednesday there were some high winds which made
fly fishing impossible. Here are the averages for the week.
Monday 3.6
Tuesday No anglers
Wednesday No anglers
Thursday 8.6
Friday 4.3
Saturday 2.5
Sunday 2.7
GENERAL
I had some problems trying to publish the fishing
report on our web site last week. When I spoke to the chaps who host our web
site they had experienced some severe problems. I will post last weeks fishing
report and this report just as soon as the site is up and running
again.
Lastly, we have a nice picture of Ryans catch
(198lb) and I will publish this also on the web site as soon as Ryan emails it
across to me.
best wishes for now folks.
