ESTHWAITE WATER TROUT FISHERY REPORT – 8/7/11

The water clarity is gradually clearing and sport is improving no end, however the fish remain deep, very deep and are still feeding on the daphnia blooms. The fly anglers are finding it tricky, with Di-7’s and Di-8’s fished in conjunction with lures such as cats whiskers and blobs from the boats, that are encountering the best sport. Early starters and late finishers are encountering some brief windows of surface action as fish come up for hatches of buzzer and sedges. Worm fished 20-25 feet down though is by far the most productive method at present, with some superb sport reported, especially from the boat fisherman.

Indeed Gavin and Neil Tomaselli from the North East took 4 cracking rainbows to 3lb on deep fished worm from the boats [ see attached photo ].

Also fishing the same method season ticket angler John Gardner from Morecambe took 8 rainbows to 4lb+ , again from the boats.

Sam Towers from Windermere experienced a hectic session, catching 9 rainbows to worm fished at 25 feet depth from the boats.

Also fishing the same deadly method, from the boats, season ticket holder Richard Maddox took 6 rainbows to 3lb 8oz.

Meanwhile Jonathon Higgins from Stourbridge fished boobies on a fast sink line from the boats to take 3 rainbows to 4lb+ and a 2lb brownie.
