These lakes are free of ice.I am fishing there tomorrow.

Ok for some then innit
enjoy.

darren, can you still fish the little stream behind the lakes?

Took myself off to Rockbourne today. I have not been for a few years and I had forgotten what a nice fishery it is.
The soaring temperatures over the last couple of days had driven the fish deep. Managed a nice brace of fully fit rainbows just on the three pound mark before I surrendered to the heat.
Both fish fell to a Goldhead Daddy on a floating and a sinking line. I'm sure it will pick up when the weather breaks.

Hi all,

I had the pleasure of fishing here this week, on the 5th May. A lovely part of Hants, a very friendly welcome from Simeon (please excuse me if I've spelt your name incorrectly) and some beautifully conditioned fish; I was lucky enough to catch a 3 1/2 lb r/b and a 4 lb brown, and although I would have preferred to have returned them (esp the brown), I was aware this was a catch and kill only water.
Although there was a huge amount of fly life around, our little group only had joy on larger lure type flies and it seemed to be a case of spot a fish and target it rather than chucking and hoping.
For me it's on the expensive side at 30 quid for an afternoon 2 fish ticket, but it's such a pretty spot with great fish, perhaps it's worth it from time to time. I'll definitely be back at some stage.

Regards, Del.
