Fishing has been very up and down through the day depending on choice of peg and weather conditions, but excellent at dusk and dawn, Some stunning Koi and Ghost carp are being caught as they feed up towards winter and shorter day light hours.
Ide and Orfe also coming into their own as colder weather approaches with an average of over 2 lb per fish, large perch feeding well, some very nice 2lb crucians also getting caught, lots of bream getting caught also and some good rudd up in the water.
