REPORT

MOLANDS With water temperatures still very low the fishing on Molands has been a little patchy. The recently stocked F1 carp are ready to shoal on a few pegs and if you are on them you can have a cracking day. Pole fished expander pellet is the best tactic for the F1’s. Another tactic that is catching remarkably well is the waggler with maggot or caster and this is producing skimmers and roach in good numbers.

GEARYS Bream to 2lb and roach have been providing the best sport although the fishing is generally pretty hard at the moment. Red maggot, pinkies and chopped worm and caster are best, fished on a small feeder or long pole. The high bank from pegs
6 – 12 has been the most consistent area.

LITTLE GEARYS Considering the conditions this pool has been in excellent form and the anglers fishing the open on Sunday proved how good it was by breaking the ice to fish and over 40lb was needed to win. The top tactic at the moment is expander pellet fished over micros for F1’s, carp and skimmers on the pole at 11 – 13 metres. Most pegs are producing decent nets but pegs 10 – 14 and 26 – 28 are the hotspots at the moment.

GRATUITIES The carp are shoaled tight to the island and the best tactic has been to fish a small ground bait feeder with red maggot, double pinkies or a small beaded hard pellet on the hook. Carp to 5lb has been featured but fish in the 1 – 2lb bracket are feeding best. Best pegs are 3 – 6 and 15 – 16.

SIBLINGS It has been quiet on Siblings this week but the few anglers that have fished it have caught some quality roach to 1lb with the reed bed area the best at the moment.

WILLOW Roach and skimmers are coming to maggot, caster or pellet on most pegs but 5 and 6 are providing the best chance of carp with pellet fished up to the reed beds.
