Ranger's Review:      
William Ransom caught the heaviest rainbow of the week at 5lb 2oz from Matthew's Linn on worm  this equals the best fish caught this season at Kielder.      
Whickhope has been the most productive area for bank anglers mainly at the mouth of the burn  opposite the Calvert Trust entrance.      
Ian Pender had fish of 4lb 4oz and 3lb 12oz from one of the boats fishing below The Belling at the Wave Chamber. Fly anglers have had improving catches especially at the Water-Ski Bay at Leaplish waterside park and also at Leaplish below the Beaches Walk.      
      
Best catch:    5lb 2oz rainbow
Best bait:     Ledgered worm, Green and Orange Powerbait      
Best areas:    Whickhope, Leaplish      
Best flies:    Orange and Black Nomads, Green Fritz Goldheads.
