Comments :

Raging south westerlies have made for an uncomfortable time and depressed catches.
However the deep lures have worked from the boats for some and a few from the bank have done well taking some top quality fish again from the deeper water near Draycote Dam.

Mr Geoff Lomasney of Rugby took four rainbows from the bank weighing 17lbs 4ozs and he returned another four. All came from Draycote Dam on a Rouse’s Buzzer. Mr John Dews of Solihull banked three for 13lbs 8ozs including one at 6lbs 8ozs. Mr John Salisbury of Warwick took one at 6lbs 9ozs from the bank. And best fish of the week was an 8lbs 11ozs rainbow also from the bank to Mr Tony Harris on a Cats Whisker. He took eight in total weighing 24lbs 00ozs.

Nuneaton bank angler Mr Bob Griffiths took a brown weighing 5lbs 2ozs.
From the boats Mr John Ryder of Solihull returned a brown of 4lbs 00ozs and Mr Paul Beasley of Bedworth put one back at 7lbs 10ozs, he had another seven fish weighing 25lbs 4ozs.
