 REPORT
MOLANDS    It has been a very cold week with ice on the pools at times and really strong winds.  The fishing has therefore been a bit hard with the highlight being that a few carp have made an appearance.  Bomb and bread have accounted for fish to 10lb.  F1’s to 5lb have also featured with pole and pellet or a pellet feeder accounting for the better catches of F1’s.

GEARYS   Silver fish nets to 20lb have been the best Gearys has had to offer this week with the high bank the most consistent area.  A small ground bait feeder with maggot/pinkies or long pole with maggot has been the best approach for skimmers and roach.  A few carp are coming to the bomb and bread fished out to the middle stumps.

LITTLE GEARYS   Match weights to over 40lb caught in the week but generally the fishing has been more difficult than you would expect on Little Gearys.  Pellet feeder to the island with punched bread or tiny pieces of meat has been the best tactic.  Long pole with pellet or maggot has also been catching F1’s and skimmers.  The best pegs have been 9 – 15, 21 and 25 -28.

GRATUITIES   Pegs 1 – 4 and 14 – 16 have been the best areas with carp, crucians and skimmers being caught on pole and pinkies, maggot or caster.  Waggler with bread punch has been accounting for a few carp fished up to the island as well.

WILLOW   Long pole with pellet or maggot is catching plenty of skimmers with the odd F1’s and crucians.  Waggler out to the middle island is working best for carp with fish mainly in the 2 – 4lb range along with F1’s fishing pellet or bread.

CRESCENT   This small pool has been excellent in the cold weather with loads of skimmers, roach and rudd to be caught along with the odd carp or tench.  Pole fished maggot or pellet has been providing lots of bites.
