Arrived around 3.30pm 4pm water looked good clear . Very windy not trouble me to much due to high banks.on arrival immediately noticed a good continual hatch of both grannom and ldo's but no fish rising to these around 5.30pm 6pm a small hatch march browns still no rising fish. I fished until 7.40pm having only fished a very small amount of the water available to me I managed 3 browns on heavy jig head very deep. Met the owner who was very obliging with information on access in / around houses. All details were correct and useful easy to find. However the recent big storms has left a lot debris and a lot of the yellow access markers/areas were a bit tricky to negotiate. On the whole a great bit of water. ( did see king fishers mandarin ducks padding from both mink n otter n badger deer slots and Canada geese tree creepers great afternoon

Didn't make it past car park bay as it was packed with carp churning up the silt all over...fish caught were all common carp ranging from 9lb to 16lb ...I'm not sure the removal of the vegetation in the main part of the lake has enhanced the fishing as it was always good to stalk the margins in between the few spots available to fish between the wild flowers in the summer..saying that I did catch 2 carp in the channel before the bridge that was previously unfishable

River at 0.9m and clear . Fished the top two pools on caravan side late afternoon. Looked very promising. Will try today before the rains come .

Water level a bit too high but was worth a go. Stuck to fc and just fished the crib area by the hut. Nothing caught or seen except one follow from a largish pike.

Struggled today 1 trout on Toby. overpriced , considering most of the day was ruined by paddle boarders falling/jumping in who no doubt don't pay the very high charges plus fishing passport cut for doing nothing that a ticket machine can't do roads close to unusable. All in all taking the p**s

Absolutely terrible day 20 people fishing and only 2 caught out of the 20 not sure when was stocked last but it needs to be stocked once a week instead of once a fortnight we are basically pay for 1 the birds to eat and 2 for the poachers that go there through the night bn fishing this reservoir for over 12 years and last two years its been a joke

Lovely day’s fishing on a beat which rarely disappoints. 12 fish to 18” with many in the 12-14” range, on a mixture of dries and nymphs. Deer Hair Emerger, Para Adams and Copper John all took fish.
