It has been another cracking week on Pitsford with both bank and boats fishing well and lots of good quality fish being reported.
Several nice Browns between 4-6lb have been reported with Hank Needham having a lovely fish of 5lb 13oz and Laurence Arnold reporting one at 5lb 5oz.
Season ticket holder Barry Sheddon has had a quite incredible week on the bank catching and releasing 71 fish. Sailing Club bank and Gravels bank have fished well with fish close in feeding on shrimp.
In open water through the Narrows and in the main basin fish are being caught on crunchers and buzzer patterns or with pulled wets. Some fish are also starting to come to fry patterns.
