A strange week with 2 frosts bringing water temp down yet again, but some excellent large fish coming out, also good range of species with several Double figured carp being taken and even match lads bring in some large fish in practice sessions, on Bowes Carp lake. Silvers depending on time of day coming out in good numbers, and some lovely tench being caught.

Carp have switched on very well by Saturday with some good numbers as well as sizes coming out.
Lookout
Good days and some colder days after frosts anglers having to work hard for fish. However 6pm till 8 am doing excellently at present. Fish very much in margin on bottom shelf as they are still in warmer thermals.
Bassetts
Tight to bottom shelf about 6 inches up and rudd on the drop working well on this pond, coaching on Saturday produced some excellent and some hard catch rates, excellent for bad weather conditions and great variety of species.
