PACKINGTON TROUT FISHERY
TELEPHONE NUMBER: 01676 522754
FISHING REPORT – WEEK ENDING 22/3/15
Last week 104 rods caught 499 fish for an average of 4.80.
The fishery is in superb form with good catches, along with some excellent quality fish.
The biggest fish of the week was an estimated 12lb rainbow caught by Terry Holder of Leicester who was fishing from the bank of Cocks Close and this fell to a black Lure and was safely released. Mr D Retmanski caught eight fish from a boat on Cocks Close and these fell to a mini black and green Lure with his biggest weighing in at 7lb 6oz.
The Packington Fly Fishers held their challenge match on Cocks Close on Sunday with most anglers taking part catching their five fish limits with John Salisbury winning. John caught five fish for 15lb 15oz which included a 7lb 6oz rainbow and these all fell to Buzzers fished on a floating line.
On the members’ waters, both Great Pool and Park Meadow have been in great form. Mr and Mrs Edwards of Claverdon shared a boat on the Great Pool and they caught six fish to 7lb 12oz on GRHE Nymph fished on a floating line. On Park Meadow, Atherstone anglers Paul Fretwell and Mark Smith shared a boat and they caught 17 fish between them with rainbows to over 3lb falling to black and green Lures.
The best areas have been the old boat jetty corner and the high bank of Cocks Close, the shallower water and far side of Great Pool and the middle of the dam wall on Park Meadow.
Top flies are Damsel Nymph, Bloodworm, black Buzzer, CDC Emergers, black and green Tadpoles and the old favourite Cats Whisker. There are plenty of fish moving on the top now so dries will become more effective as it warms up.
