Jubilee Lakes report for week ended 20th October.

A great weeks fishing! Gone are those dog days of Summer and we are now into some really good fishing and the doubles are taking an interest again.

                                                                             Phil Totten.

                                                                 Phil's Cormorant.

                                                                      Chris Ryan.

Mr Philip Totten from Lanchester took a 25lb 14oz rainbow on a

Cormorant. Mr Chris Ryan from South Shields took a 21lb 5oz rainbow on

a White Zonker. Mr Tom Carroll from Newton Aycliffe took a 18lb 2oz

rainbow on a Dawson's Olive and Mr Harry Freeman from Durham took a 17lb

2oz on a Cormorant. This is apart from the standard stock fish which are

running at an average of over 3.5lb in weight at the moment.

Phil Totten from Lanchester really livened things up with his double.

He's been quietly sneaking out the odd double (four this year between

10lb & 16lb 4oz), but broke his own record and our fishery record by

landing a 25lb 14oz rainbow. Our previous record of 24lb 8oz has stood

for quite a number of years and every year we have expected it to be

broken. We were very pleased to shake Phil's hand when he landed his

beauty, caught on his own tying of a Cormorant.

The trout are chasing fry so fry imitations such as the Zonkers are

doing well. Olive patterns and particularly the Dawson's are also

catching very steadily. An intermediate line seems to have fished better

this week - probably due to the very bright conditions.

Thankyou,

Dave & Sandra
