Sport: There were some good catches made today and some super trout caught with 3lbers aplenty but the biggest of the lot was an 11lb giant that was caught by Derek Ashworth. Dereks huge rainbow was caught near the jetty and fell to the charms of a daddy and put up a super fight before being netted. Ken and Mick Whiteside landed a combined total of 13 trout from both the jetty area and the dam with various lures proving effective for them. Mick also landed a big trout, a 9lb rainbow that was returned to fight another day. Bill Orrell was also into some good fish landing 7 from two trees. Bill had both rainbows and blues over 3lb with black patterns proving effective for Bill. On the boats there were also some good catches made with trout being caught from all areas. Jim Pickford and Alistair Kier landed 11 fish between them from several spots with lures being their best flies. Top catch today goes to Gordon McGregor who landed 11 fine trout. Gordon found blobs effective and like other anglers found his fish all over the reservoir. Good fishing and great fish. See you on the water Paul.
