August 25th – 31st

122 anglers caught 401 fish of which 282 were returned.

Best Fish
5lb 10oz John Thompson, Peterborough, white/green fritz, boat
35 fish over 3lb

Best Areas
Bank – east arm, boat bay
Boat – anywhere down the middle

Best Patterns
Foam daddy, black hopper booby, cruncher, diawl bach, grhe, tequila blob, white/green lures.

The fish are feeding heavily on the surface on calmer cloudy days. Even when the suns out the majority of anglers are catching in the top 4 foot.
Some superb condition rainbows were taken last week, mainly from boats although the bank fishing is gradually improving with the weed dying off and the water temperature falling.
Washing line is still the favoured method.
Prospects for the back end of the season have never been better with Elinor’s massive daddy hatch imminent and a good head of small roach and perch fry available.

The Dave Hughes Memorial Fur & Feather will be held on Sunday November 9th.
Boat and bank fishing entries are welcome.
