Island Pond
Some great pleasure catches in the last few days.
Both Dougie Anderson and Mr Adam had catches of carp totalling over
20lb yesterday. Dougie had over 30 carp mainly on sweetcorn.
Pellets are also starting to work well with maggot a good bait if the
weather turns colder.
The fish are not hugging the island so much and are
more willing to come looking for feed, even quite close in, so anglers
are catching on the short pole and close waggler as well as right
across. It still pays to be careful not to overfeed though,
little and often is best and a pole cup helps.
Top Pond
Fishing well again now and the small common carp are
back feeding and making up the bulk of catches. The water is
still well coloured people are catching over 50 small carp in a
session. F1 carp are the bigger fish, many around 12oz but some
over 1lb.
Pinkies & maggots are still good but pellets and
even sweetcorn are starting to work better and pick out the better
fish. Like the Island Pond, the fish are venturing away from the
far side and can often be caught quite close in.
Main Loch
As the water gradually warms up, the pole is
starting to catch more fish though feeder and slider tactics still
produce consistently well. The pegs in front of the cafe down to
the tree are most popular and successful in matches but pleasure
anglers are taking good catches all over.
Skimmer bream are showing up much more in catches
with the odd bigger bream to over 2lb. Maggot is still the most
successful bait for bream and carp. Be ready for some of the bigger
carp to 3lb, most are getting lost at the moment!
