With the wind swinging around to a Northerly during the week it has been a bit fresher but the hatches are still coming off. Bank anglers have found fish from Sermons down to the Cliffs with Gorse bank fishing well. Northfields is holding fish in the corner of the Causeway and the recently stocked stunning Browns from Westacre trout farm have started appearing at Stone Barn and Duffers. Anglers are reminded that these cracking fish are to be returned alive please. Mid week boat winner Mr K Lockton.
