ESTHWAITE WATER
TROUT FISHERY REPORT – 11/10/12
TROUT FISHING
The trout
fishing continues to be good for the time of year and despite the heavy rain
that we have experienced lately, the water clarity is excellent. As the water
cools throughout the autumn oxygen levels will gradually rise again and
prospects for the next few weeks look very good indeed – weather permitting of
course. The trout are rising freely for tiny buzzer, however matching the hatch
is almost an impossibility. There are a few sedges coming off the lake, so best
target rising fish with a sedge pattern, daddy long legs or hopper. However the
favourite and most successful tactic has been to find the fish and employ fry
patterns on an intermediate line for best results.
One angler
that did just that was Will Pollard from Cheshire.
Will fished from the boats and landed 3 nice Brown Trout.
Andy Bailey
from Fleetwood also fished from the boats and landed a brace of brownies on
spinner. Also fishing the spinner, season ticket holder Joe Reynolds from
Barrow in Furness landed 3 brownies from the boat jetty.
Meanwhile
Charles Davis from Dorset also took 3 browns
from the boat jetty on a small rubber fry imitation.
Kevin
Totterdell from Manchester
fished worm from the boats and landed 2 rainbows and 2 browns to 3lb+.
Martin
Frood from Frodsham took advantage of the fry feeding frenzy. He employed
spinner and landed 3 brownies, the best a cracker of 6lb (see attached photo).
PIKE FISHING
The Pike
season started here last week and reports have been flooding in! Big s club
member Ian Spence from Barnard
Castle caught a jack of
about 7lb and on his last cast took an immaculate 21 pounder. Both fish were
taken on static Herring deadbait. (see attached photo)
Another Big
s club member Reece Nicholson from Carlisle
also used static Herring and landed a 16 pounder from the bank opposite the
ticket office.
Meanwhile
John Stapleton from Penrith fished a variety of lures from the boats to take 6
Pike in total, 3 jacks and 3 doubles to 19lb 8oz – Good angling!
Hawkshead
Angling Club member Tim Carswell from Cockermouth has landed a number of Pike
from the banking, all on static deadbait. Tim’s top 2 fish weighed 21lb 13oz
and 24lb 7oz respectively (see attached photo).
Also Big s
club member John Ashurst from Wigan lure
fished from the boats and had a number of Pike up to 19lb+.
The
prospects over the forthcoming weeks for the Pike fishing looks excellent. As
the trout stocks thin out the Pike fishing will get better and better.
