Default Grafham Today

Just returned from Grafham, which was fishing very well.

Warm weather and a light Easterly breeze saw many rods bending and lots of limits.

I was done by four pm, started on the south side (Seat, Sailing Club) in the morning and had nothing apart from a lost fish of decent size on a cats booby di7 combo.

Went to G mark around midday and started to get many takes and fish to the boat, especially drifting across Church Bay about 80 yards off its eastern headland.

Minky Booby was the killer, again on the di7, though i didn't count down at all as it's obvious the fish are higher in the warmer water- savage takes (most during mid retrieve, so I reckon the fish were down about 10' or so) and scraps to the net, bagged 8 for 24lb10oz (personal best )

Heard there was fantastic action around Savages Creek with floaters and buzzers/diawls/gold head damsels doing the job.

Yeah, I think I bumped into them from at the weighing room .... from Derbyshire, they said .... Carsington was their local water ..... I tell you what, the 8 they kept each were average 3lb+ ... Savages was their hunting ground ... diawls and crunchers on a floater

No, that's another one then - these two were local and returned all their fish

Are they still hammering them out on nymphs? - I hope so!!

Fished fabulously Friday, Saturday but much harder on Sunday when the wind swung round. Nymphs hard to present. Blobs pulled fast on Di3-5 best.
