It’s fair to say that the expected weather for this time of year has finally arrived with low single figure day temperatures and even colder temperatures at night but, if anything, a few frosts and some icy cold winds have seemed to spur the fish on a little more. Despite the tough weather conditions we … Continue reading Fishing Report 6th December 2021
It was been a funny old week weather-wise with everything from glorious winter sunshine (which, at times, felt quite warm on your face) to biting winds and low single figure temperatures, all capped off with the first named storm of the winter. We had it all! Needless to say, angler numbers weren’t high towards the … Continue reading Fishing Report 29th November 2021
Last week was a far better week one with the fish finally starting to feed as we would expect at this time of the year. Plenty of anglers hit the water and some had some barnstorming days.

Best bags have been well into the teens for several regulars and one particularly noteworthy bag included not 1 but 2 double figured fish just 5 … Continue reading Week ending 8th March 2020
As if we haven’t seen enough bad weather, the end of storm Dennis gave a couple days of “better” weather before the announcement of the third named storm in as many weeks. Storm Jorge didn’t live up to the predictions but did bring some very heavy rains and strong winds which did as expected keep … Continue reading Week ending 1st March 2020
