Thornton weekly report week ending 07/04/2013
At last some better weather especially over the weekend had anglers catching fish on a variety of lines and flies.
We seeing fish starting to feed on the buzzer, although currently small buzzers its certainly a sign better conditions have arrived.
Floating lines, intermediate and sinkers fished with booby, cats whisker, dawson olive, bloodworm, hares ear and buzzer all worked with the bank opposite the lodge still a favourite fishing spot.
Some anglers on the southerly wind ventured into the Markfield arm and found fish all the way along it, in a “normal” year the farm bank always fishes well in April.
With the local weather forecast not too bad for this week sport we expect to continue to be as good as this weeks rod average 5.1 indicates.
