Fish 384 (Season 11,977) Returns 82 (2,527) Rod average 4.7 (4.7)
With a rod average for the week of 4.7 and lots of fish being caught in the 3-4lb bracket, both bank and boat anglers are finding Pitsford is in fine form.
Fish are gorging on fry, shrimp and snails both in the margins and out in open water. The small half of the lake is now out of bounds but fish are spread throughout the main body of the water.
There have been numerous good fish reported but James Punch deserves a special mention. James is enjoying his first season as a beginner. He has been bank fishing and caught and released two brown trout between 3 and 4lb which he described as stunning. Hank Needham had a brown estimated at 6lb plus. There were numerous Rainbows caught during the week around the 4lb mark.
Anglers are reminded that our Brown trout are now out of season until 1 April. If any are caught they must be returned to the water unharmed and as soon as possible to avoid damage.
