General

Some excellent fishing before and after the  36 hours of torrential rain from Thursday evening to Sat morning, water levels rose dramatically but our overflow system which was designed for 100 year flood situations did very well, and kept levels of water to 4 inches below pegs. Water temperature dropped to 15.2 deg, DO also dropped to 10 ppm, PH turned acid slightly however with sorter daylight hours fish are feeding well through the day and superbly at dusk and dawn.

Hook baits working are paste, pellet, maggot, worm, sweetcorn, luncheon meat, prawns and mussle.

Try soaking angel pellets till moist mould into a small ball around hook and add micro pellets around the ball as a conker works great but you need a hook size of 14 or 12. 

Lookout

At the moment its fish on the drop with all the water gone in through the torrential rains of the past two days. Some good catches with the Juniors Browning Youth Masters in a 4 hour match was won by Conner Ross with 44lb 3oz who goes on to the final at Moorlands Farm Fishery Kidderminster  on the 31^st of July well done Conner.

Before and after the torrential rain lasting 36 hours fishing was outstanding on pole, rod float, bomb,  the full range of species coming out with exceptional bream to 9lb 2oz and some very good crucians best 3lb but lots of them being caught.

Bowes

Some good weights coming out both for pleasure anglers and match anglers, carp do need to be kept fed so feed angel pellets, hemp, maggot, worm or caster little but very often to keep fish in your swim – its all about the feeding to catch well. , Alan Mc Guire won the Sunday match with 54lb 10ozon peg 5, even though we had had all that rain previously.

Season ticket holder Paul Wood fishing peg 1, caught a lovely common carp 25lb 2oz on large pieces of Luncheon meat over pva bags of angel pellets on Monday evening. Paul caught at 15 ft from the peg to his right.

Bassetts

Cracking catches on maggot with a 10lb 6oz common caught by Josh Welby 10 yrs old on his first fishing session with his dad at Angel, Tench, rudd, roach, ide, golden orfe, skimmers, crucians all being caught in good numbers. Great when wind gets up as very sheltered
