It certainly was a week of proper winter weather and anglers were greeted most mornings by a heavy frost and clear skies. Despite these conditions, the gentle winds and sun did have some buzzers hatching off through the day and fish did freely eat from the surface which is great to see. Most anglers took … Continue reading Fishing Report 17th January 2022
The new year started off in a similar vein of form as last year finished. A mixed bag of weather and some very cold nights certainly haven’t put the fish off in the slightest with some great bags coming to the anglers willing to venture out and have a go. Despite the temperature, the fish … Continue reading Fishing Report 13th January 2022

Some very mild conditions for the time of year kept the fish feeding hard and anglers had some fantastic bags with several into the teens. Along with great catch rates, plenty of big fish made an appearance too with 3 doubles … Continue reading Fishing Report 20th December 2021

Last week was another very unsettled one in respect of the weather, which didn’t do anything to make life easy for anglers. Freezing overnight temperatures brought some really chilly mornings which, when conditions were still, led to some great hatches of buzzers with fish feeding freely on the surface. Sadly this changed to squally, cold … Continue reading Fishing Report 8th November 2021
It’s been another mixed week with the weather, from howling winds and torrential downpours to mild and flat calm – we saw it all!
