August 6th – 12th

139 anglers caught 246 fish of which 119 were returned

Best Fish
6lb 2oz Geoff Makin, Leighton Buzzard, flashback diawl bach, boat
5lb 3oz Steve Lane, Holbeach, black buzzer, boat

Best Areas
Bank – east arm, coarse bank, dam(in a north wind)
Boat – down middle

Best Patterns
damsel nymph, adult damsel, fraser nymph, olive hopper, white/green lures

The beginning of the week fished well but since Thursday 9th the hot weather has made things challenging. A few fish are feeding on adult damsels and nymphs but many others are not feeding during the day.
A few cooler days will see Elinor back on form. August is usually the hardest month. Bank anglers are doing well if they catch two fish during the day. Boat anglers have done well if they manage four.
Stocking continues twice weekly

Next Stocking
August 17th, 20th, 24th
