General
Still some good catches coming out despite the weather conditions this week, and all species still being caught.
A week of heavy rain with the odd good day in the middle, water temperature has fluctuated up and down by 2 deg, with warmer thermals being in the mid water level. Fish are starting to shoal together as if they sense the colder weather and shorter day light hours. It is necessary to use watercraft when choosing your pegs to get good numbers of fish, watch for the feeding bubbles of carp, crucians, tench and bream, and swirls of rudd up in the water.
Feed very little but you do need to have some in your swim to get the fish to move to the feed, add attractants of liquid additives, or pure fish meal, even a very small amount of groundbait to enhance smell to attract the shoals.
Carp are well into dawn to 10.30 am and 3pm to dusk feeding patterns, and silvers feeding all day if you can get them into your swim. Definitely winter feeding tactics now.
Bowes
Carp when feeding are full of fight offering great sport, and carp feeding up well for winter, do not go light yet on your tackle yet as the carp will snap you of after ragging you all over so keep to summer tackle strengths for now to get the carp in.
Some cracking silvers are being caught if you target them all have pilled weight on the year, and tench, ide, Orfe, and bream feeding very well.

Lookout
Some excellent quality fish being caught as well as lots of perch, important to get through perch to aim for bigger fish do this by bigger baits on hook or multiple maggots if using maggots.
Fish have started to shoal, watch for feeding bubbles to choose your peg and use watercraft now to choose the best pegs.
Some cracking carp, ghosties and Koi as well as silvers out this week all have put good weight on this year how I do not know because of the weather.
Bassetts
Carp catching well with a range of mirrors, common, leathers and ghosties being caught as well as crucians feeding up well, silvers, tench and Orfe all still feeding well. Maggot and pellet are best hook bait at the moment on this pond and feed very very little.
