Fishing updates

Pretty wet today but at 9 degrees, quite warm foe the time of year. Couple of fish per rod has been the average for a few days, not ad for the conditions.
Will be a lot higher, once the new fish arrive!

New Year Bonanza!

Breaking News

Curley's are going to have one of the largest stocking of fish ever next week! Certainly the most fish stocked in one hit for over 6 years!

We will be full to busting with excellent quality rainbows and Blues from 1 kilo upwards.

The long term weather forecast is very favourable with mild temperatures and showers so the fish should settle in very quickly giving good returns straight away.

What are you doing next week?

Rainy days

What do you do when it's raining? Well you can of course stay at home and watch telly but you could also go fishing.
catch rates can be good in the rain as it gets the fish to wake up a bit and become more active. Rain  generally means the temperatures are higher than clear days and this can spark good buzzer hatches and fish hanging about higher in the water.
Certainly there have been a lot of fish moving about in the top layers over the last 2 days and I expect this to continue as this weather pattern becomes more consistant.

So take advantage of this get out the wet weather gear and dust off the floating line!!

One of the many advantages of Curley's you can always have a break in the new cafe!

Festive fishing

The fishery has had quite a few visitors from far afield over the holidays up to now. The one that has travelled the furthest was from Sussex, in the North visiting friends but wanted to fish.

Most visitors have caught,  top rod yesterday was 5 fish. There has been a few pike fishers on the main lake dead baiting with pre bookings busy over the next few days.
 The course lake has had some participants with a little Lad well into a catch over 30 fish today, at least he was a happy Lad.

The weather is fairly mild with temps around 6 to 8 degrees and quite a few fish topping in the unseasonal conditions.

Christmas greetings

I would just like to wish everyone who has visited Curley's and especially our valued members and their families a very Merry Christmas and Fish filled New Year.

The fishery will be open everyday except Christmas Day itself. So come along for some no doubt well earned 'ME' time. In spite of the changeable conditions it's been fishing pretty well with most visitors catching a couple of fish each.

Hope to see you soon, have a good one
Mike

Entomology for the fly fisher

The Fresh Water Biological Association have just released the new course details for next year
Have a look at the link here http://www.fba.org.uk/fba-training-courses
The entomology for Anglers levels 1 and 2 are invaluable for anyone taking fly fishing seriously.
I did these courses last year as a refresher and learned lots and lots from my mate Stuart Crofts and Andy Dixon.
Well recommended - maybe another Chrissy present????

conditions

A decent day to try your hand and get out doing a bit.
A little overcast but no sign of rain, snow or sleet!!!
Fish moving around, no hot spots you need to do likewise to find them.

Decent Pike pulled out recently if you fancy a bit of diversity!

Update on conditions

As yesterday some fishing to be had from the last two roadside pontoons and about half the embankment. Hopefully no problems for the weekend if the expected rain for tomorrow arrives as forecast.
