General

 

Strange weather week with frosts, torrential rains, strong winds and calm spells, overcast and bright sunshine, barometer swinging from highs to very lows, and water temperature dropping to 5 deg then rising up to 6 deg. This all has had effects on the choices of fishing which lake, fishing pegs choice and where in the water to fish.

Anglers need to be thinking anglers at this time of year, and have various methods to choose from as the pellet waggler has worked well on some days getting fish up in the water, other times maggot feeder has done well, and even 10mm pellets covered in paste has worked well on some pegs some days, worm and caster doing well, and pellet banded on the bomb also doing well. Sweetcorn has not yet started making any impact as yet but is handy as a back up bait. Vary your feed by the choice of methods used but do not overfeed.

 

Lookout

 

Lots of species still feeding but shoaled in groups and not moving very far on frosty mornings, when warmer and favourable winds then movement is increased to capture food. Catches have varied from up in the water to dead bottom, from tight to bank to middle water so it is important to use watercraft to study conditions and select your method of fishing to conditions for best catches.

Patience is the winter requirement and getting feed pattern correct for silvers up in water, or to get carp up in water, some great shoals of skimmers and good numbers being caught with Alec Witherspoon taking 34 with an average weight of 1lb 12oz each, plus some excellent rudd, golden rudd and ide plus 2 golden orfe, Alec targeted silvers and had a fortunate carp haul up in the water of 4 carp to 5lb, so ended his day very pleased.

 

Bowes

 

The carp are taking their time to come up in the water on most days but if you persevere and have patience it is achievable and some good catches are being taken.  Or decide to go for fishing of the island on the bomb and start at the top and work down to the bottom shelf you will be rewarded once you have worked out which depth the carp are feeding at. Soon carp will be mid water and on the bottom but at the moment they are still quiet tight to margins.

Wes Fawcett from Carlisle enjoyed a day out on pole and bomb taking 22 carp with 4 to double figures; he also changed to waggler for silvers and caught ide, skimmers and roach.

 

Bassetts

Has been very sheltered this week and fish have been topping all over, Emma and her dad Brian Moore tried this pond for the first time this week and caught up in the water with ide, rudd, and golden rudd as well as changing to over depth to get some golden tench and roach. Emma changed to margins and caught 4 carp loosing a good-sized double in the reeds.

 

Coaching is now one to one with groups needing to be pre booked to arrange enough coaches.
