Comments :
Best fish was the 11lbs 6ozs rainbow to Bromsgrove bank angler Mr Peter Elliott. Peter took two fish weighing 17lbs 4ozs and returned another sixteen at Rainbow Corner.
Leicester boat angler Mr Ian Footman took a 10lbs 00ozs rainbow which helped him claim the week’s heaviest eight fish limit at 29lbs 12ozs.
Mr Ian Morris of Shipston on Stour took a rainbow of 7lbs 00ozs and then Mr Llyn Evans, Mr John Snelson, Mr Colin England, Mr J Balinski, Mr Mike Davies, Mr Gwyn Jones, Mr Jim Dempsey and Mr Terry Buchanan all took rainbows in excess of six pounds.
Best brown was 10lbs 2ozs to Leamington Spa bank angler Mr Karl Cooper which he returned to the water at Toft Bay. Karl had actually forgotten his own rod and had to borrow one from the Lodge – the lucky one obviously.

The boats have fished with all these and lots more besides. Fish have mostly been higher in the water.
