Hi,
Meadow and Lakemoor were fishable today with the areators doing a cracking job (Cranymoor and Marsh closed) John finch Bridgnorth returned 21 fish to 7lb fishing his Bloodworm pattern.
With another stocking of 50 big Rainbows (average 8lb) and a hand full of stockies today tomorrow and the weekend looks to be very rewarding for some anglers.
Oh and a few of these went in also

Should be some fun this weekend then??

Thanks Ed.

Hi All,
The -10 temperatures did not put the fish or the anglers off this week with plenty of fish caught.
Best Rainbow of the week was a 14lb 5oz specimen taken by Fred jackson Coventry who fished a PTN on Meadow.
Another good fish of 13lb 6oz was caught by local angler Ziggy fishing a Cats whisker on Meadow lake.
John Finch Bridgnorth had another good day fishing his usual bloodworm pattern to release 21 rainbows to 6lb.
Visiting angler Grant Stevens Oldham wasn't dissapointed when he landed fish of 11lb 10.5lb and 9 lb on Lakemoor fishing a black buzzer he also returned one of the new Tiger trout of 5lb which have recently been stocked at Ellerdine.
Rod average was a respectable 6 fish per angler and i would say an average weight of over 4lb per fish, nymphs and buzzers have been taking the majority of fish this week despite the cold.
