Gailey Trout Fishery Report

[Peter Davies]

England youth international fly fisherman Mark Harrison from Willenhall was top rod at Gailey last week catching 14 fish up to 5lb. 17 year old Mark fished from a boat catching his superb bag of fish all returned, on a mixture of flies. Buzzer patterns accounted for a good percentage of the fish caught last week including Shipmans when the trout where feeing on the top, and Goldhead buzzers when fish where deeper.

Gailey regular Peter Davies had a purple 4 hour session on Friday evening catching 12 trout averaging 2lb all on orange Shipmans from a drifting boat down the middle of the 35 acre reservoir.

Gailey was stocked again last Wednesday, with high quality full finned trout averaging 4 1/2 lb. Tony Nunn from Gailey said after the initial stocking of fish averaging 2lb, we will be stocking larger fish up to 6lb to spice things up at the Cannock reservoir.

Full day sporting ticket costs only £17 with boats from £5. Gailey trout fishery, near Cannock. 01785 715848
