Boat fishing is still very good. Bank fishing is harder but will improve as we get well into September, especially when the daddies arrive.

 

A variety of methods are working with dry, nymph and lure anglers taking fish.

Plenty of 4lb + fish now showing.

 

Further weedcutting starting this week to open up more bank areas.

 

Next stocking: September 3rd 7th 10th
