ESTHWAITE WATER
TROUT FISHERY REPORT – 27th September
The fishing
over the last couple of weeks has been challenging and the weather again very
unsettled, however despite this when conditions have been right there have been
some great sport reported from both boat and bank. The weather really has been
all over the place and generally cold for the time of year. This has inhibited
fly hatches, however there are still a few buzzers and sedges coming off the
water, but surface sport is at a minimum throughout when these conditions
prevail. The fry bashing however is in full swing and sinking lines and fry
patterns rule with floating fry, cats whisker, zonkers and sparklers all
accounting for good numbers of fish!
Peter Stone
from Nottingham fished white fritz lures on an
intermediate line from the boats to take 3 Brown Trout to 2lb+. Meanwhile John
Macdonald from Glasgow
fished minkies on a Di-3 line again from the boats to take 7 fish to 3lb+.
Peter
Burgess from Kent
fished a good old cats whisker on a floating line and boated a superb 5lb Brown
Trout, which was his only fish of the session – but what a cracker it was.
John Sparks
from Darlington followed the diving Grebes and
found hectic sport up in the Swimming Pool, as the trout were hacking into fry,
he employed spinner and landed 4 nice rainbows to 4lb+.
Bill Smith
from Rochdale fished from the boats yesterday and landed 5 trout to 2lb on Dawson’s Olive.
Any method
anglers are also doing well. Chris Jacobson from Liverpool
took 4 Brown Trout. Two on worm and two on spinner from the boats.
Meanwhile
Hawkshead Angling Club member Dave Bell landed two brownies from the ticket
office banking. One on spinner and one on worm.
Prospects
for the forthcoming weeks looks excellent. The water has cooled now and fish
are back on the top and even though hatches of flies have tailed off abit the
fish are present near to the surface and given the right conditions top of the
water action should be good with sedge and buzzer patterns. If no fish are
showing due to restricted hatches then fry patterns on a slow sink line will
score well!
