Weekly Report Week ending 6th September 2015
Algae persisted off and on all week but with a light breeze most of the week it ensured we had plenty of algae free water to fish. Water temperature by the weekend was a fishing friendly 16.5 degrees
West Mids Police enjoyed their annual visit to us this week with all catching on a variety of different methods from mini lures, damsels to dries.
Those fly patterns were a feature of the week a real mixture of flies working, the one thing in common everything needed to be fished in the top 18inches.
Early part of the week in front of the lodge down to the main basin was the best area with plenty of fish to be seeing moving, towards the latter part of the week the mouth of the Markfield arm and stones produced best.
Bob Obrien caught a 4lb rainbow, Richard Collier caught 3lb12oz rainbow on a daddy, Ray Jordan caught his first ever brown trout a fish of 2lb4oz, Paul & Sam Cook recorded a trout of 4lb10oz, while Keith Gregory caught a rainbow of 6lb4oz and his partner Andrew Royston 4lb4oz, Bob Menhams fished a Cormorant pattern to take 2 fish including one of 5lb for his Saturday morning visit.
