Feedback & Reports

Productive day with 4 Rainbow Trout landed. 1@ 1lb 10 oz, 1@ 1lb 7 Oz and 1@ 1lb 2 oz on Mepps Aglia spinner, 1@ 1lb 2oz on floated worm, whilst I was having a rest. Lost three which coughed out the spinner and one on the worm. Fished this water 4 times now and seemed much better due to the low wind, water was like a millpond. Warm when the sun came out. A good fly fisherman would have had a field day, particularly the hour before sunset. It was noticeable that there was more activity in the water when the human and motorised traffic, on the road around the reservoir, eased off. I will be back.

S.E AND N.E. end of resevoir fished. Bag limit of six Rainbows achieved by 11.30 having started fishing at 9.00a.m. on SE shore. Six fish ranging from 1.5.lb to 2.5lb taken. Caught on Agila 3 spinner. Continued fishing with an old debarbed Agila spinner on both SE and NE shores which resulted in a further catch of 19 Rainbows ranging from 1lb to 2.5lbs, plus an 11 inch Brownie. All succesfully returned for another day! Grey skies and rain with SW breeze up until 11.00 a.m then clearing skies with bright sunny intervals. A brilliant days sport in a superb location.

Nil caught.

N.E. corner with very overcast skies cool and no wind. Two of us fished all day with little success except for 1 x 1.5lb rainbow on Mepps Agila 3.
