TROUT FISHERY REPORT – 15/10/15
TROUT FISHING
The trout have been hacking into the fry and have been
caught on all methods fly , spinner and worm! The boat fisherman have seen the
best of the action with Swimming Pool, Grubhole and Four Tree bay seeing the
best of the action!
Tim Roberts from
Preston fished intermediate lines and cats whisker to land 4 cracking brownies
to 3lb+. John Knight from Darlington also fished fry patterns on a sinking line
and took 3 Brown Trout to 2lb+.
Meanwhile Peter Parker from Lancaster fished spinner and
worming tactics and landed 3 nice fish to 1lb 8oz. Gary Sparks from nearby
Barrow in Furness also landed 3 nice fish to 2lb+ on similar tactics!
Prospects for the forthcoming weeks looks excellent, with
all this mild weather about. But don’t forget there is a strict catch and
release policy on the Brown Trout until 15TH March!
PIKE AND COARSE
The Pike fishing has been fantastic.We have had the best
start to our Pike season in recent years with many fish being reported to 20lb+.
Lures and deadbaits have both been working well!
Ben Mathews landed a brace of 13 pounders on static deadbait
from the boats. Also Drew Mcwilliam fished lures from the boats and took 5 nice
Pike to 21lb 8oz! Ian Bland landed a nice 15 pounder to lures, again from the
boats!
John Hine took 6 to 16lb on fly, again from the boats.
Meanwhile Alex Roberts and Barry Robinson landed 5 to 14lb on lures.
Fonz Howard landed 2 to 15lb on deadbait from the bank.
Chris Harris took 6 to 15lb on lures from the boats. Andrew Gaunt landed 5 to
14lb on lures from the boats. To cap it off Reece Nicholson from Carlisle has
landed many Pike on static deadbait to 21lb from the car park banking (see
attached photo).
The Coarse fishing has been very good recently, with 20, 30
and in some cases 40lb+ bags being reported. We are now open year round for the
coarse fishing and tickets are only £10. Quiver tipping and long range feeder
tactics have been the best approach, with the car park and the boathouse on the
Eastern bank being the best pegs at present. One angler that had a successful
session was North East specialist Simon Ashton, who landed 40lb+ of Roach,
Perch and skimmers! (see attached photo).
