Sundays Prospects

Wind is forecast to be easing, to drop to 18mph.

Over clouded, with small out breaks of rain.

Sinking line is your best bet, unless trout are seen rising, Di5 or a slow sinking line/intermediate if the fish are that little bit shallower. Slow retrieve with the odd pause or strip to induce a take. Cats whisker has been catching alot of fish lately with a single dropper with either a Black Blob or comorant tied.

Fishing Between the surface to 4ft down has been the zone for the last few weeks, however the drop in temperature and the strong winds weve had seem to be pushing the fish that little bit deeper, roughly between 10-15ft, finding that thermocline layer is the key to constant catches.
Keep moving from peg to peg, a few anglers tend to stick to a single peg, they may catch but the key to catching more fish is too keep moving.

Very Early morning there has been alot of fry movement over the last couple of weeks, the trout seem to be occasionally getting into a frenzy and gorging on the smaller fish. So Zonkers and general fry imitations are worth a go.

"I marrow spooned a 3lb trout roughly a week ago and a small, what appeared to be a roach or rudd, of only an inch in size, was the trouts last meal. A large duck feather was also concealed in its tract!"

Alot of good size fish from 4-7lbs have been caught lately so make sure your leader is strong enough to handle a fighting fit 4lb+ "blue".

Look forward to seeing you out on the water!
