Feedback & Reports

Half the reservoir closed each side because of filming for a tv series. No notice put up in ticket hut to inform us. Noticed there was one in there later when leaving.
Couldn't fish the bay as job worth security man wouldn't let us down there. Fish this area often because easy access to water as other angler is disabled.
Onto the fishing. Fished just up from the boat launch area. Overcast with a strong breeze into our faces with choppy water. Bubble float impossible. However great success on spinner and fishing worm on ledger.

Cold, overcast day. S.Westerly breeze. Many offers to fly
early morning, mainly from the large number of small brown trout in the margins. A couple of Rainbows lost. Caught 3 rainbows after lunch on a spinner.

Morning spent along the NE shore on fly with two takes but no catches. Overlooked by a squadron of cormorants sitting on the tower pier! Two good 3lb rainbows in the afternoon on small Mepps spinner. A pleasant, quiet days fishing. Litter problem still a disapointment, especially the empty containers of power-bait along the shore.

Overcast with light rain throughout the day. S.Westerly wind. Daddy long legs again proved successful.
Tried to access the Fly Only section beyond the Tower. Impossible in decent fishing gear unless you want to damage it as it's so overgrown. It's a shame that such a great place is so badly maintained.

Fished from 10am to 5pm. Nothing for the first 3 hours. Strong South Westerly breeze. Caught 4 fish between 1pm and 2.30pm on a Daddylonglegs. Went quiet again for the rest of the time I was there. Hard work.
