Feedback & Reports

We also caught perch. We used worm as bait floating between 3 and 5ft off the bottom, all 4 fish were caught on worm. We also tried float fishing and spinning but had no luck with these methods.
Whilst fishing there was a diseased trout with a skin condition struggling to stay alive, swimming on top of water near banking. I was able to catch this fish with the landing net and subsequently put it out of its misery.

Disappointing day - fished from 10.30 until 5.30 on the inlet on the NE side using every type of fly I had in my box - 1 fish taken, about 1 & 3/4lbs (just enough for dinner for 2) on 6 fish ticket. No other interest.
Weather light rain in the morning but brightening in the afternoon. Wind initially light from W but freshened a bit and still no warmth in it.
Lots of fish rolling about on the surface but they wouldn't take a fly. I think my fish had been put in today as its dorsal fin was pretty much non existent. It did make great eating though! I think the water is still too cold, or I need to improve dramatically!

Fished from early morning until 10am, started in the bay and saw a nice sunrise, fish rose right in front of me just to tease. Nothing caught on my bottom fished worm, moved to boat slipway and caught a small perch (why are they all so small, I would have thought that there would be some bigger ones, maybe they inhabit the murky depths!), chap to my right hooked and self released a nice rainbow. I moved back to the bay out of the wind and gave up at 10am to retreat to a nice cup of tea and a bacon sarnie. I am back this weekend with my Dad, he has looked forward to this trip for ages so I am keeping my abject failure from him and I pray to the fishing gods that the trout decide that they are hungry. P.S I even tried float fishing using a pine cone as a weighted float, it worked ok but still no fishies!
