Hi Jimbo, I am fishing it for the first time on saturday the 12th so interested to hear how you get on if you are fishing it before then.

ally if fishing it for the first time would reccomend the bank in between the boats and the dam wall.fished it a few times from the boat and not had much luck except a few wee perch.a nomad fished slow from the bank has caught me a few fish up there.tight lines yc

fished it on saturday from the boat and caught 1, one offer 1 fish. the rest of the boats did,nt fair much better ones and twos.dont know how the bank boys got on

Anyone been out lately?

Was here today and iam sure anyone else who turned up for a non fun packed day of sun bathing will agree there was a severe lack of fish in the water and the best bag was only 4 with the majority of other boats having 1 or 2 and a whole load of blanks!
Wont be rushing back at the tail end of the season again in a hurry

i live local to norththird mate and a lot of local guys are saying there fishing elsewhere,myself included.theres plenty of local places that give better value for money at present.i certainly wont be back in a hurry either
YC

Not on here to slag off any water but i don't think N.Third fishes the way it use to.......Used to go there regular in the late 80'sand early 90's ..the fishing used to be great.. as said from the boats to the dam was always good .But never hear much about it any more

The guy that runs North Third is known to stop stocking well before the end of the season. We never go there after the end of August.

The starting time is a pretty late 10.00am, geared up I believe to suit the school run with his kids, which is fair enough, but he will not issue a ticket until 9.45am at the earliest, even if he is obviously in a position to do so. If you approach him at 9.40 or thereabouts I can guarantee that he will ask you to come back in 5 minutes. He's a d!ck. Well he's actually called George.

And we've noticed that if you take a boat and don't take his engine but bring your own electric, you'll almost always be given a boat as far away from the car park as possible so that you have to carry your gear along the muddy shore.

It's a pity really, as it's a beautiful little reservoir and when it's fishing well it can provide some great sport.
