Haywards Farm Lake became a sheet of ice this week and therefore fishing was short lived, however before the ice came Cats Whiskers, Vivas, Blobs and Tadpoles were catching well despite the cold conditions.  Dave Bartlett landed the largest fish of the week, a rainbow of 7lb.  Follow our Facebook page for regular fishery updates!
