Main Loch
Carp have been the most consistent fish over the
last few weeks with plenty of F1s and commons up to 3lb. Fish are
dropping down into deeper water so the swimfeeder is starting to work
well particularly in the morning before the water warms up.
Maggot is a good bait on groundbait feeder or pole when the fish often
move in later in the day.
Pole anglers are mixing leam with fishmeal
groundbait to fish on the bottom in 12-16 ft of water with carp
responding well. See Mark Lyons match
winning catch as an example of the kind of double figure catches
pleasure anglers are taking.
Island Pond
The huge pleasure catches of the summer are not so
common now, though Stuart Blakemore disproved that with well over 40lb
on Jelly Pellets over micro pellets last week. Bigger fish are
being taken though with carp up to 6lb and Tench over 5lb.
Pellet is still good for catches of Carp and Tench.
Ide are still plentiful and maggot is working well with worm not quite
so effective as before.
Top Pond
Still fishing very well and giving lots of bites for
everybody, but in the colder weather hitting bites can become more
tricky! Pellet still the best bait but maggot is becoming the no.1
alternative.
