Fish killed & released 155, Returns 34, Rod average 4.6
Pitsford has enjoyed another good week and there are signs that the fish are now turning onto larger lure and Fry patterns along with the shrimp and snails. Bank anglers have reported Rainbows up to 6lb 8oz on Snakes, while a pair of boat anglers reported having a great days sport along by the sailing club, fishing di3 and Humongous Booby flies, catching 8 Browns up to 8lb along with numerous Rainbows.
Fish feeding on Shrimp and Snail are also still getting caught close in, with plenty of fish around 3lb getting caught.
On Sunday, members of Mid Northants held a bank match, this was won by Barry Jones who caught 5 fish up to 3lb, with a Fab and shrimp patterns being the successful flies.
This Sunday is the Fur and Feather (boat match). There are still boats available, so call the lodge to book a place.
Online boat booking – We are pleased to announce our online boat booking system is now live!
Please be aware, from November the 13th onwards all boats bookings at Rutland, Grafham, Pitsford and Ravensthorpe will need to be paid for at the point of booking. The easiest and best way to book a boat is online at www.anglianwaterparks.co.uk
We strongly advise creating an account on our website (you will need an email address to do this). If you register an account, this will mean:
a) It will speed up any future boat bookings,
b) you can self-amend your booking up to 2 days before your trip – so a boat booked for Saturday can be self-amended up to Midnight Thursday.
c) staff can book a boat for you in the lodge (if you wanted to pay in cash for example)
d) Season ticket holders can keep tabs on how many fish they have taken for the season
You won’t need an account if you are a ‘walk-in’ and pay on the day without having pre-booked, however please note, from November the 13th we will no longer be able to process split boat payments in the lodge for walk-ins.
If you have any questions, please email our Retail and online manager Neil at: natkins2@anglianwater.co.uk
