How is Leighton (masham) and west tanfield fishing i am undecided on were to fish this weekend ???

Hi nimcol

This is the most recent report I have seen

RAINBOWS to 12lb 3oz were caught in the first week of the season at LEIGHTON, where 191 anglers caught 721 fish.

Among them were 11 doubles. Most of the fish have fallen to lures, with Orange Fritz, Cat’s Whisker and Dawson’s Olive all doing well.

During April over 50 large fish will be stocked, with rainbows from 8lb to 15lb, and browns from 5lb to 10lb going in.
