Rutland Water Form To November 15th

A few hardy souls braced the weather last week with strong winds restricting fishing. Fish were caught mainly in the main basin with sinking lines working quite well with boat anglers averaging seven or eight fish to the boat. Good numbers of fish are still in the reservoir with prospects looking good in settled weather.
Predator fishing
Again due to the weather, very few boats were out. Anglers have concentrated on the deep water of the reservoir with multiple catches a regular occurrence.
