Fishing Report on 28th January 2025
Well what a way to start the new year, as January has seen 143 visits so far, with a total catch of 164 trout (including 33 returned). Even a few larger fish of between 5lbs to 10lbs were caught and released. Congratulations to R. Claxton for catching the 10-pounder!
On 25th January, our 2023/24 Season’s Catch Total was 4,652 out of the same Season’s Stocking Total of 5,853. However, the Season’s C&R Total was 837. So, if my maths is correct, we should have a healthy stock of about 2,038 trout left still left in our Lake till this Trout Fishing Season of 2023/24 comes to an end soon, with 15th February 2024 being the last day of this old season.
So, inspite of the stormy and windy weather, members are still catching fish! You have two more weeks to do some catching of your own till that time. More members are catching with sinking tips, intermediate and sinking lines on banks that are not so windy. It would be a good time to bring out the lures too, as the cold should make them hungry for bigger flies.
Please remember that this year’s Trout fishing season ends on 15th February 2025!
Also, please remember our first WorkParty of this year is on 16th February 2025, and as many members as possible are much needed to help get our Fishery shipshape for the new season!
Tight lines!
