Tuesday 19th March

Weather a little more pleasant as we have not seen any of the forecasted snow etc ---- up to now!!
The water temps is still very very low. There was some ice on the lake this morning and temperature readings are +3C on the bottom and 0C at the surface.
The fish are still very static almost in hibernation and although the fishery does not need stocking for numbers of fish, I have ordered some more to be delivered.
When you introduce new fish it can liven up the residents into feeding more but ultimately, we need warmer water!

I will be doing a Tenkara presentation and discussion at the Bolton Fly Tyers meeting at the Beehive Hotel, Chorley New Road, Horwich this evening at 7.30pm all are welcome.
It is a good opportunity to find out more about the exciting method or river fishing.
