Sport: Today we hosted the 2nd day of the Lexus European Open and the conditions took a turn for the worst. We had strong winds and heavy down pours which made the fishing much tougher than yesterday. Steve Bland was top rod with 7 trout caught on mini lures fished on a slow intermediate. Jim Tuck also caught on mini lures to tempt six fine trout and Rob Denson used a team of wets to take the best four fish bag weight. We saw trout caught all over the reservoir today and with the conditions set to improve tomorrow and on Saturday we should see some good sport.
See you on the water. Paul
