FISHING REPORT – WEEK ENDING 26/4/15

Last week 108 rods caught 370 fish for an average of 3.40.

It was a slightly harder week with the bright conditions. There are still lots of fish moving on the top with large hatches of buzzers on all of the pools.

The largest fish of the week was a 7lb 14oz rainbow caught by Paul Flanner of Worcester who was fishing from a boat on Cocks Close pool with a Damsel. Mr P Ford of Atherstone caught a 7lb 8oz rainbow from a boat on Cocks Close and this was the best of an eight fish catch taken on a Cats Whisker. The Packington Fly Fishers had a get together on Cocks Close where all five anglers caught their five fish limits with Harold Pritchett of Atherstone catching the best bag by releasing a further six fish and they were caught on black and green Tadpoles fished on intermediate line.

On the members’ waters, Great Pool has been in excellent form over the last week with lots of fish moving on the top and imitative patterns are working best. Michael Hanson of Nuneaton had eleven fish fishing from a boat on there and they all came to small Buzzers fished on a floating line. On the Park Meadow pool, Dave Woollaston of Warwick fished black and green Tadpoles and he caught nine fish to 5lb 4oz.

The top flies have been black or olive Buzzers, Damsel Nymph, GRHE, olive Emergers, Bloodworm, black Gnat, black Tadpole and Cats Whisker.

The best areas have been the road bank, old boat jetty corner and the high bank of Cocks Close. On the Great Pool a lot of fish are being caught around the dam wall area.
