Harsh weather conditions this week; especially the Northernly wind is making casting from the front of the bank quite difficult, but anglers still managed to produce fish. After four frost’s this week brownies seem to be showing frequently, as the water temperature is currently at 5 degrees and clarity is gin clear.
A trout match has been organised for the 16th December by Scott Bowman and has kindly opened the doors to any angler who would like to join in. If you would like to like to participate, please be at the lodge for eight o’clock.
Best catches this week:
Reg Bellham (Northampton) caught a stunning brownie at 2.5 pounds
Gene Robinson (Raunds) caught 8 fish 2.5 to 3 pounds
Michael Bax (Oakham) caught 5 fish at 2.5 pounds
Nigel Cheetham (Oundle) caught 4 fish at 2.5 pounds a piece and a brownie also at 2.5 pounds
