Fishing Report 21st February

Notes

A mixed week with both the weather and the fortune of some – strong winds on some days, flat calm conditions on others. One day felt like high spring with warm temperatures and bracing the next. This has knocked the fishing a little at times, but plenty have still been landed with the best bag … Continue reading Fishing Report 21st February »

Fishing Report 13th February

Notes

Spring continued to feel like it was just around the corner again last week with plenty of surface activity all over the lake. Buzzers were popping and trout happy to take advantage. Naturals were the way to go for sure with the vast majority of the catch falling to buzzers, diawl bachs, crunchers and damsels. … Continue reading Fishing Report 13th February »

Fishing Report 6th February

Notes

Another good week at the fishery and the feel of early spring is very much in the air. Some milder weather has seen plenty of buzzer activity and anglers have had lots of success either long lining or using an indicator with black buzzer patterns. One angler, after treating himself to a new rod from … Continue reading Fishing Report 6th February »

Fishing Report 31st January

Notes

A much warmer week than the previous one saw lots of activity with plenty of buzzers hatching off at the height of the day. Some lovely calm conditions resulted in a good amount of surface activity with trout making the most of it. Nymphs and buzzers where probably the best line of attack for most but … Continue reading Fishing Report 31st January »

Fishing Report 23rd January

Notes

Well after a week of heavy rains we switched to a week of heavy frosts. Temperatures were down to -8 overnight and daytime temps not much above freezing. This didn’t stop the anglers coming out to have a go and the fish were (at times) very obliging. Floating lines and intermediates seemed to do best, … Continue reading Fishing Report 23rd January »

Fishing Report 16th January

Notes

Despite another very mixed week weather-wise, the strong winds and heavy rains didn’t put the anglers or fish off and a surprising number of fisherman ventured out and were rewarded with some great catches! Many bags of up to 7 fish were taken with the best reported fish tipping the scales at around 8lb. Nymphs … Continue reading Fishing Report 16th January »

Fishing Report 9th January

Notes

A great week at the fishery with plenty anglers venturing out and being well rewarded. The lake is bordering on full capacity again after last year’s long and dry summer which is wonderful to see again. Fish have been very active and often quite close to shore. Buzzers have been hatching off on the milder … Continue reading Fishing Report 9th January »

Fishing Report 5th January

Well happy New Year to you all! We hope you had a great break and enjoyed your Christmas. Despite some of the weather we had between Christmas and New Year, plenty of anglers came to get their last fix of 2022! The fish certainly turned on after being rather subdued for several days after some … Continue reading Fishing Report 5th January »

Fishing Report 30th November

Notes

Another mixed week with some very heavy rain mixed with beautiful spring-like conditions. At times we had all four seasons in one day, or so it seemed! The lake continues to fish well with many anglers catching several fish in one day. Floaters through to intermediate lines have done best with nymphs, damsels, buzzers and … Continue reading Fishing Report 30th November »

Fishing Report 21st November

Notes

Another mixed week of weather with some heavy rain and high winds, followed by flat calms and relatively warm conditions keeping some anglers away. For those that ventured out, plenty of good sport was to be had. Floating lines down to intermediates continued to produce the most fish with mini lures and snakes doing well. … Continue reading Fishing Report 21st November »
