Weather: At last we have some settled, gentle weather! A mild week of mainly cloud with some light rain. Light winds from the west and east and occasionally – some sunshine. Cooler mornings and evenings.
Water: The blue/green algae at Chew is snow clearing and has gone from Barrow 1 & 2. Blagdon remains mainly clear. All lakes are very full. The surface temperature is still 15°C.
Barrows: A few more fish were stocked into the tanks this week and this has improved sport at all the lakes. A few fish are falling to dries late on but nymphs and mini lures are best during the daytime.
