A big drop in temperatures this week saw the fishing go a lot more difficult and by the weekend there was a thick layer of ice across all of the pools. MOLANDS fished okay albeit very patchy with a massive 121lb winning the Christmas match with Paul terry taking out the match fishing a bomb with pellet and hardly feeding a pellet which shows if your on the shoal a good day can be had. The water is still very clear so the better catches are coming from the far bank or down the middle and bomb or waggler with pellet/wafter or a small method feeder with wafter has been best approach GEARYS has been affected hardest with the cold weather slowing it down but before the freeze 50lb + nets of carp were being caught along the high bank with method feeder with bread or wafter the best tactic. LITTLE GEARYS was a little more consistent with F1s showing on most pegs and nets to around 50lb winning matches with f1s to 6lb and carp to 15lb featuring in nets.Long pole at 14.5m or short at 5m with maggot has been the top tactic but dobbing bread has also worked well .Both the SIBLINGS pools fished tough this again week with dobbing bread the most effective tactic fished across to the island or far bank. ANNIES is producing nets to 30b and f1s and small carp are coming to pole fished maggot or expander pellet with the pegs at the top end of the pool from 1-10 and 20-23 in the best form. WILLOW pool has picked up with carp and f1s coming to pole with maggot or pellet with nets to 45lb and pegs 5- 10 have been the most consistent.

WE WOULD LIKE TO WISH EVERYONE A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR
