LATEST Fishing Report

Fishing Report on 14th October 2024

I am pleased to inform you that two further autumnal stockings of trout have been made on 30th September and 4th October 2024, (each consisting of about 500+ fish), making the season’s total stocking at 5,315.  The last three weeks have seen a total of 187 visits, producing a catch of 232.  The up-to-date total season’s catch is 3,514, of which 639 were returned.  This means we have about 2,440 trout waiting to be caught in our lovely Lake. 

The fishing is great, with takes coming from a foot to three feet under the surface.  Some have been caught with daddies, hoppers, sedges, whilst others on lures, blobs and boobies.  As the temperatures are getting down more, one will find sinking tips, intermediate and sinking lines coming into own.  However, the odd sunnier, warmer days might still reward the floating lines fishermen.

Please be reminded that we have our annual autumn fishing competition, the Frank Wright’s Trophy coming up this Sunday, 20th October 2024.  This is a pair’s competition.  Each competitor is required to bring something to be raffled off after the match.  All a bit of fun!  Please inform Roger Gibbons by the 16th October of your intention to take part in this competition.  Entry fee is £8.  Lovely refreshments will be available after the match is over! So, it’s still not too late to register your entry!

Tight lines!
