Ranger's Review:       
Conditions remained much the same in the last few days of the season as they have been       
over the past few weeks.  A number of nice size fish have been coming out in these last few   
days, the biggest this week, was 7lb caught by Mr P. Yeoman.  We had 6,694 catch returns filled in in total, (which is somewhat less than actual visits), catching 19,079 fish giving an overall rod average for the year of 2.8.       
Wading particularly produced lots of 5lb+ fish, taking mainly bloodworm patterns and black 
tadpoles.
       
Once again thanks and a Merry Christmas to all our customers.  We look forward to seeing you all again at the start of the new season in March.
