BRISTOL WATER REPORT
WEEK ENDING Monday 22nd September 2008
Weather: A lovely autumnal week with very light winds and warm days. Most days started misty but cleared to give bright and sometimes sunny conditions. Dry!
Water: Still a little algae present at all the lakes but making no difference to the fishing. Levels steady and the surface temperature remains at 16°C.
Catch: 214 trout taken by 130 rods, average catch 1.6 per rod
Blagdon: Fishing from the shore still seems to be the most successful at Blagdon. Any of the shallower areas seems to be producing good catches. Boats have had some success at Rugmoor and Pegs though many are staying in the deep water and taking fish on buzzers fished well down. An 8.04 rainbow was taken this week by John MacDonald of Fife while fishing from a boat.
Total catch to date:
46,492 trout taken by 14,168 rods, an average catch of 3.3 per rod.
