Sunday 2nd December

Cold start to the morning, with little or nil wind present. Fish rising all across the lake which is a little unusual this time of year, although the majority of the trout will be sat much deeper, keeping within the thermcline layer, where the conditions are best suited.

Slow sinking to fast sinking lines recommended. Vary the depth to find the fish, a simple, yet effective way of doing so, is to count down to "10"seconds then "20" seconds etc, vary the depth to find the fish.

Pattern wise, anything with black or green! large fritz & small fry patterns coming into their own this time of year, slow steady retrieve as the fish are rather lathergic due to the sudden drop in temperature. Finally, but no less important, keep on the move. This constant moving about will not only keep you guys/gals warm but will increase your catch rate. Keep on the move, vary the retrieve and pattern.

Tightlines! 
Get out on the bank today! its cold but fish moving, the anglers currently fishing are stating they have seen the larger trout chasing fry, close to the margins!

Happy to get the blogs up and running again! and dont forget your thermals!
