Lookout
As water temperature rose towards 8 deg so did the fishing catch rates increase well, some great bags of silvers have been caught on pellet, maggot, caster, worm, and paste also starting to work, whilst carp are catching well on pellet, conker, paste, feed angel pellets or maggot and start using some sweet groundbait to get shoals of skimmers in your swim.
Fish are hungry and feed at a constant drip feed to get some good catch rates, as water temperatures increase so increase your feed levels..
Bowes
Some excellent bags of carp out as well as lots of the large bream and some good numbers of silvers out. Baits are pellet, maggot, caster, worm, conker and paste also starting to work, whilst carp are catching well on pellet, conker, paste, feed angel pellets or maggot and start using some sweet groundbait to get big bream in your swim.
Fish are hungry and feed at a constant drip feed rather than a large quantity at once to get some good catch rates, as water temperatures increase so increase your feed levels.
Bassetts
Started fishing after new stock in with maggot, pellet and even paste has caught, drip feed and fish up of the bottom for best catches and closer in next to reeds.
Some good Orfe out and Ide, with the new carp feeding well, tench also being caught and rudd, roach and shy crucians all now being caught.
