I fancy an outing there on Saturday.
Anyone have any advice,tips,locations or information on the water please?

they have a web site but it is not up to date, look at rutland gillies http://www.rutlandgillies.co.uk/reports/elinor.html for info. Been there a few times it's a good fishery boats are pretty old and nasty but the fishing is usually very good.

I hope you have a sat nav not easy to find

No sat nav just an old map
Cheers for the link

Elinor is fishing very well for the time of year. You can fish both boat or bank. Weed cutting has been carried out recently so the choice is yours.

Nymphs do well, especially various damsel patterns, as do dries. Fish will take blobs and boobies if that's your bag but it's much better to fish the naturals.

Some good size fish come out on a regular basis so you have the chance of a specimen.

Have a good day and let us know how you get on.

Cheers Grasshopper
Blobs are not my own choice but i do use the booby sometimes,re washing line
I will go tomorrow,if i find it????? and let you all know how i get on
I'm looking forward to it!

Had a great day yesterday
Fish were on the damsels and after getting countless nibbles with no take i moved over to a PTN and bang!!!!!!4 fish in succession
Great fighting fish all around the 2 1/2lb mark
Lost a couple but at least i had a good day would recommend it to anyone!
One sour point though was a rainbow,around the 15lb mark was lying dead at the side of the water

Well done mate! Glad you had a good day.

Boat or bank fishing?

Bank.
Great sport,which i have been missing lately on Rutland
