Ringstead Grange Trout Reports Sept 3rd
Week 27/8/12 to 2/9/12
The cooler conditions have started to improve the fishing slowly this week and again those anglers which have done well this week were Mr Gene Robinson of Raunds ,Mr N Silver of Godmanchester and later in the week Mr J Spolton of Kettering who all took their limit catches from the boat.Best patterns this week have been Diawl Bach,Hoppers ,Damsel Nymph,Hares Ear and now buzzer nymphs starting to catch in black&green.
Well done on Sunday to Mr Ken&Tom Baker from Sydney Australia who attended Ringstead for the first time with Mr Mike Blane.Celebrating “Fathers Day” in Australia Ken who had not been fly fishing previously had a short tuition and promptly went out in the boat and caught a 21/2lb rainbow on the blue Diawl Bach[“Little Blue Devil”]Altogether all 3 anglers caught 5 rainbows and had a memorable day but Ken went away with the largest fish[see attached photos-Ken is on the right of the photograph].We hope they all return to repeat the day but it may be a little too far for just the weekend!!
September should see a much improved month as sedge,buzzers and craneflies put in an appearance.Coarse fry around the lake are now appearing in abundance which should provide a good source of food for fry feeders in the margins in the coming weeks.
Weekly stocking is continuing and this week saw the introduction of larger rainbow specimens in the 3-4lb bracket as earlier reported.This should provide some excellent sport for the weeks ahead.Already a number of rainbows to 3lb featuring in catches and the average on the better days is 3 fish per angler.September should see an improvement to these numbers.
Tactics are still with floating lines fishing in the top layers although on brighter days an intermediate with a short leader is proving successful.
