Angling: Warmer weather paying dividends
KLAA: WITH all of the lakes and rivers free from ice and snow thanks to the milder temperatures, conditions began to look very favourable as anglers returned to the rivers.
Sunday was a washout for anglers as the downpour continued throughout the day.
Earlier in the week, fish were caught from Shepherd's Lake with the odd angler catching well on most methods.
Reports were received from both the Level and Ten Mile of roach and skimmers, showing on the tip and and on the pole.
As the week moved on, catches and weights were reported from both Shepherd's and the Level but no weights or catches were received for the Sunday.
Shepherd's Port: Shepherd's Lake again producing plenty of roach and rudd with skimmers also showing close in.
Maggot working well for all methods.
During the later stages of the week, nets were starting to appear with good-sized quality fish. Weights more than 10lb have been recorded, giving more consistency during the last seven days.
Bear Lake: Attracting more anglers than of late with a few small carp showing during the later stages of the week.
Saturday was the better day with anglers catching a few of the little stockies on red maggot.
Middle Level: Reports of roach and skimmers at Neeps and also at Morton's.
The Crooked Chimney has seen weights that have been estimated at between 5 and 7lb, although Neeps has been the more productive with fish ranging between four and nine ounces.
Maggot has produced the better stamp fish, feeder line producing more fish, small hooks and long tail reaping the rewards. No predator reports have been received from the level this week.
Ten Mile Bank: Modney and Danby both showing roach. Pole lines to 11 metres finding the fish also small skimmers to 10oz showing on the tip.
No net weights have been received but catches have been estimated between 4 and 8lb.
Again plenty of jacks showing this week, but the big ones are proving very tricky to locate. Small plugs and jellie lures for the jacks.
Little Ouse: Better reports, although Sunday's downpour increased flows for forthcoming week. Roach, rudd, bleak and dace all being caught on the pole, pinkie and maggot finding the fish.
The flows had decreased, allowing anglers to use lighter floats for a more ideal presentation.
Bites have been fierce and finicky as the fish have been more confident in feeding. Double-figure nets have been becoming quite consistent.
Nar Valley Fisheries
NAR Valley Fisheries has remained slow since the Christmas freeze, and the current weather conditions have really not improved the situation.
Pike fishing on Lake Geneva has been a struggle with only the occasional fish to mid-double figures. A couple of double figure carp have been reported from Fenn Lake.This week the weather is due to settle and temperatures rising, lets hope this gets the fish on the move.
Current members should have received a renewal notice by now. All enquiries to Chris on 01553 636507.
