Water temperature have rose this week to spawning temperatures and as a consequence the fish started spawning from Saturday evening and the lakes were like Jacuzzis in the reeds and loads of reeds floating this morning all over every lake.
Catch rates have been excellent till spawning, fishing tight in margins with some good numbers of fish out.
Lookout
Caster and pellet have been doing some excellent catch rates, feed 3 or 6 mm angel pellets and keep feeding margins as extra swims at 11 metres out fish up in the water for rudd or on the bottom for skimmers. Chopped worm, maggot and paste also catching.
Some excellent weights and numbers of fish being caught
6 good ghosties caught in the match feeding up in the water.
Bowes
Lots of big bream being caught on chopped worm and cater cocktails, pellet, paste and conker for the carp and maggot for silvers, some great catches coming out with the larger fish feeding up well, keep the angel pellets going in the margins as an extra swim and you will see the tails of the carp feeding up sticking out the water after half and hour.
Bassetts
Peter Richards on Saturday enjoyed a very hot day with the sheltered pond giving an ambient temperature of 30 deg, and a 20 deg water temperature, he caught 99 carp in excess of 100 silvers 2 tench and 2 crucians before he had to go home due to the excessive heat of the day.
