Trout Fishing
After a slow start with the weather, the fish have been feeding really well up on the surface and again the dries have been catching some cracking bags. Fish to 9lb have been taken this week and anglers have been having great sport. Pete Kelly from Crewe had a fine day taking 10fish all from the Swans Neck pool on a small egg fly and buzzers. Cats Whiskers and small green/white lures have been working well on the Railway pool, as well as small damsels. The weed is really starting to grow on the lakes so dries and light flys are going to be the best and produce more fish, the evenings will fish well now if the weather stays good.
Coarse Fishing
