Sport: today was pretty much perfect! The boats only just had the edge today with fish now starting to cruise a little further out. Willow Island and Grindys lawn were well worth a look today and no doubt that will be the trend for the rest of the week. As you know these areas have some silty bottoms were all these buzzers are starting out life.
Out on the water today were Paul Bebb and brothers Will and George Shelton. These two young lads had a day to remember with 16 fish between them! Paul tackled the lad’s up with the washing line; the rest was up to them and boy they did them selves proud! They found fish all over with the booby and buzzer taking an equal share.
The story has been much the same for everyone else, buzzers, buzzers, and buzzers! Not forgetting a good show on the diawl bachs. Ken Whiteside had a good day with 7 on the diawl bachs all along the northern shallows including a cracking 12lb rainbow. Rob Denson and Phil Price had 16 to there boat, all over the reservoir on yep you guessed it buzzers!
Phil Harney had a success in the ever popular waters of Newclose were he took 9 trout on straight lined buzzers from the shore.
I could go on some cracking sport has been had and I’m sure this warmer weather is going to have the reservoir lifting with activity! It’s a good week to be an angler!!
Have a look at the video above, some awesome fish have been stocked today, this short video is just a taste of what’s to come. Prier to this stocking we also introduced around 400 brown trout averaging a kilo, all fit as fiddles and ready to stretch a line or two!
Tight lines Matthew
