Rod Average - 5.0

Fishing has been great with more settled warm weather.

The week saw a further stocking of 3000 rainbows taking our season total to 24,200.

Best boat areas for the week have been Normanton Bank, Church Bay, Yellowstone, Old Hall, Barnsdale, Sailing Club and Dickinsons.

Various tactics have worked including intermediate/sink tip lines with a blob or FAB on the point and a variety of nymphs on droppers. Pulling has also caught fish on sinking lines.

Both boat and bank anglers continue to catch well with both buzzers and shrimp patterns and when the opportunity arises dries have also worked.

Best bank areas for the week have been Normanton, Church Bay, Stockie Bay and Old Hall.

We have also seen some local anglers venturing away from the mass and have produced some excellent sport including some lovely browns.

Fishing, walking, cycling, water sports
