PACKINGTON TROUT FISHERY
TELEPHONE NUMBER: 01676 522754
FISHING REPORT – WEEK ENDING 30/12/12
Last week 52 rods caught 195 fish for an average of 3.75.
The wet and windy weather put off a lot of anglers who would normally have fished during the Christmas break. Those who fished were not disappointed as there were some cracking fish caught.
The best being, a fish estimated at 14lb caught and returned by Jonathan Preston of Solihull who took it on a Cats Whisker fished on an intermediate line from Cocks Close pool. Mick Hanson of Nuneaton caught a 12lb 8oz rainbow whilst fishing from a boat on Cocks Close and this was the best of a five fish bag taken on black and green Lures. Ray Inman of Birmingham also had one at 12lb 8oz which fell to a Straggle Cats Lure fished on a floating line, he also took another of 10lb 8oz later in the week and this came to a black Fritz Lure. Ben Hookes of Birmingham caught an 11lb rainbow which came to an Appetizer fished on a sinking line.
The best tactics have been to fish an intermediate line with a long leader using black and green Lures, Cats Whisker, Tadpoles, Fritz Lures, Gold Head Damsel Nymph or Minkies.
The Day Ticket prices will remain unchanged for the foreseeable future.
WE WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL OUR CUSTOMERS A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.
