Fishery manager Mal Watson (tel: 07966 890086) informs me that new ‘stockies’ (in the form of carp from 6oz to 5lb) will feed throughout these cold months and they want grub so try warming your ‘pinkies’ up! Bronze, red and white maggots will all be gratefully received, along with a few micro pellets, and the […]

Bridge Pool (80 pegs) is full of silver fish that will respond to maggots and pinkies, but, if anglers want to invest in a ‘match pack’ of bloodworm and joker, then a bit-a-chuck is guaranteed when pole fishing (order from your local tackle shop in advance). Many pleasure anglers are frightened to use the ‘little […]

Risby Lakes, Folly, 23 pegsSaturday 3rd December’05, NEGAS Winter League, (round 4) It was one of those strange days when the resident carp decided it was either too cold to feed or maybe they just couldn’t be bothered to as only one small stockie was landed throughout the entire match. However, rumour has it that […]

One of Clint Elliot’s professional team of staff, Ben, clearly has a sense of humour as he advises anglers to go for silver-skinned pickled onions over on Sycamore (22 pegs) during the month of December as apparently the carp love ’em! Try groundbait feeder to the islands with 2 or 3 maggots on the hook […]
