Top Pond
You can usually depend on the Top Pond for a few fish even in the
worst weather conditions when other ponds can be difficult.
Still fishing well with Carp around 1lb to 2lb the
mainstay and Blue Orfe boosting catches sometimes to nearly 50lb.
Colin Hart showed what can happen on even cold days with his
catch to win the
New Year Open match. The odd bigger Carp up to
3lb also make an appearance. Maggot and Pinkie are baits that are working well
when conditions are difficult but the Carp will still take paste, corn and pellet.
It definitely pays to be much more careful with
your groundbaiting and feeding at this time of the year compared to
the Summer. Take it easy and you have less chance of spoiling the
fishing for yourself and can build a bigger catch. When nights are
cold then the fishing is likely to be better in the afternoon than
the morning and the last hours before dark can be very good.
Island Pond
Still fishing well - in the coldest conditions fish can shoal
tightly which can lead to big catches such as Bobby Marshall's
match record catch of
49lb.
On milder days there have been plenty of good catches to over 40lb
including Carp to nearly 6lb. Maggot and Pinkie have been good baits
that will catch all species but when the Carp are feeding Pellet and
Corn are also good.
In the deeper pegs near the cafe there are always plenty of small
fish to keep you busy including Roach, Gudgeon and Orfe. These can
be caught close in but be prepared since the odd big fish can move
in and surprise you!
Main Loch
The Main Loch has undergone major development work but the Cafe
Bank is open again now and has been fishing well the last few days.
Carp are showing all along the Cafe Bank in some good catches up to
50lb.
