Ranger's review:        
Grassholme continues to fish well with good catches and big fish the order of the day.      
Limits are frequently being taken and anglers are reporting that the quality of the fish is excellent 

Ten year old Lucy Phenix from Saltburn, fishing with her dad caught a lovely rainbow weighing 4lb 5oz.  Lucy also caught five more and her dad had two to make their eight and complete a great day!  

    
Grassholme has recently been stocked with double figure fish from the farm at Lartington, so far only one has been caught so there should be some exciting sport ahead.      
Best flies:    Dawson's Olive, Black Fritz, Orange Fritz, Bibio, Kate Mclaren.     
      
Best baits:    Worm, Powerbait, Greedy Bait, Maggot,  Magic Dust fished via the swim     
  feeder.    
      
Best areas:    Witch's Hat,  Front of lodge,  Easter Bay,  Grey Pipe.
