20/05/10 Just finished stocking.

Just finished the fortnightly stock. 200 rainbows. Slightly bigger than the previous at 2.5 lbs.

Dry fly now in full swing. Lots of big catches to small green dries.

3 More places are available for the catch & curry at the week end. Phone to book a place.

4.8 rod average and your views

After stocking on thursday last week the weekend saw plenty of good catches. Due to the weather Sunday was the best day. The average was 4.8 for the two days buzzers and lures being the best methods. White fritz taking the biggest bag ( 18 fish ) for Mr McGinley from Wigan.

We are looking for your views on the fishery. What you like, what you don't. Is there anything we can do to make the fishing better. Send me an email with your views. tonykay45@aol.com

Stocking.

We will be stocking again on Thursday morning. 200 Rainbows will be put in. So the sport over the week end should be good. If it stays cool fish will be a bit deeper. Buzzers and cats whisker being the most productive methods upto date.

Airflo Classic competition

Some of Britain's top fly fishers decended on Curley's for a qualifying round of this major competition.
Exisiting England Team members as well as lots of would-be's battled it out for the places in the final.

Official results to follow but quite a few fish were caught in quite testing conditions.

All the competitors were agreed that Curley's was a great venue for this comp.

Sat 1st May

On Saturday we have the CEFF Airflo stillwater competition and entries have been brisk.
Teams and individuals are coming from all over the British Isles to enter this popular competition.

It maybe that the fishery is fully booked with anglers in the competition.

Please check before coming along to fish.


Sunday onwards will be as normal.

Sorry for any inconvinience, this this is a once a year event and we didn't expect this first year to be as popular as it is turning out.

Stocking.

Yesterday we stocked again. 200 quality rainbows went in. Time doesn't half fly as they say. It only seams yesterday that I was doing my first stocking at Curley's but it is actually just over 10 weeks or another way to put it five stocking days. 1000 fish added to the 1000 plus already stocked this year not to mention all the fish that have over wintered.

With the weather starting to warm up and the light nights, now is the perfect time to grab a couple of hours after work and beat the busy week ends. We are open till dusk.

20 th April

The weather was kind at the week end so yet again we saw a increase in the number of anglers fishing. 32 anglers fished with a rod average of 9.4 Buzzers being the best method followed by the cats whisker on a intermediate line.

Our stocking policy of 200 fish every two weeks has proved to be a great success and will carry on. However Steve has placed an order for a delivery of 5lb fish. Once they are ready we will take delivery of them so keep an eye on the blog for further details.

The night stalker event has only a few places left so book your place if you intend to fish.

AIRFLO CLASSIC BANK COMPETITION

We now have the airflo classic competition entry forms available in the Bailiffs office at the fishery. Anyone wanting one please ask on of the members of staff.

Also there are only a few places left on the NIGHT STALKER CURLEY'S CATCH & CURY night. Phone to book your place.

What a week end. The nice weather brought the anglers out and the trout. 32 anglers fished giving a rod average of 8.6. Best catch goes to Mr Heaton from Wigan with 34 fish caught on Buzzers.

In keeping with our policy of stocking every two weeks. The fishery was stocked again last thursday 8th April with 200 rainbows.
