Weekly Report Week ending 7th August 2015
.A week of two halves as far as the fishing was concerned. The early part of the week with water temperatures between 17 – 18 degrees gave us a few evenings when the evening rise was excellent with anglers reporting fish high in the water during the daytime as well, chasing through the wave & coming to dries & emerges.
Towards the latter part of the week the brighter warmer conditions with little or no wind soon pushed the water temperature to 19 – 20 degrees with anglers having to alter their tactics accordingly reaching for the intermediate & slow sinking lines with damsel, blobs & cats whiskers producing better than the dries.
Lonesome pine, mouth of the Markfield arm, stones & on occasion especially during the late evening in the cooler conditions in front of the lodge.
Leicester Handicapped Anglers visited us Sunday & although the conditions were not easy they enjoyed their day averaging 2.0 with most taken oh Daddies, dries and buzzer, good angling.
Roger Jones recorded rainbow 3lb8oz, Mick Jay 5lb, Clive Holt 5lb8oz with Mick Cross 3lb8oz
