Packington Somers Trout Form To June 21st

Last week 123 rods caught 231 fish for an average of 1.88 per rod.

The very changeable conditions made for more difficult fishing during the last week. Plenty of fish moving on or near the surface on the more overcast days and there have been some tremendous rises in the evenings.

The best fish of the week was a 6lb 2oz rainbow caught by Alex Kerr of Nuneaton who was fishing from a boat on Cocks Close. Alex caught five fish and released a further six and they were all taken on Bloodworm and Gold Ribbed Hares Ear. Ben Foo-Collyer of Solihull fished catch and release from a boat on Cocks Close and tempted 11 fish to 4lb and these all came to dry Mayfly. Bill Dunne of Birmingham fished from a boat on the Great Pool and caught five and released a further two fish, with the best just over 4lb and these all came to a Gold Head Damsel Nymph. Mr A Miles fished from a boat on Park Meadow and caught five fish on Daddy Long Legs and dry Hoppers

The high bank and far corner of Cocks Close, the deeper water at the dam ends of Great Pool and Hall Pool and the middle of Park Meadow have been the best areas.

Top flies are Damsel Nymph, CDC Emergers, black or olive Buzzers, big dries, Daddy Long Legs and Bloodworm patterns.

The fishery has introduced a late evening ticket for £10.00 for two fish available from 6pm and this so far has proved popular with anglers who have enjoyed good sport during the evening rise.
