Willington Lake Trout Fishery
For anyone wondering what has happened to the Willington trout fishery website it has been taken off-line for the time being. They are also having a new phone line installed so for any querries call Mark Jenkison on his mobile number. The fishery is operating as usual.
The water is ice free and despite the freezing conditions the rainbows are still feeding though deeper in the water now. The best tactics are to fish a floating line with a leader of no less than 15 feet. As willington is absolutely heaving with damsel nymphs year round a weighted damsel pattern fished on the point slowly will score. You can then experiment with various patterns on droppers to see what else the trout are interested in on the day.
Certainly the rainbows fight well in the crystal clear cold water. Good numbers of trout around 4lb are being caught plus the odd double. One lucky angler taking rainbow trout of 10lbs and 11lbs the previous week.
More fishery news and winter fishing tips soon!

It appears that a year on from your comments the web site is not up and running.

John,
The website was up and running until last week. Unfortunately Willington is closing as a trout fishery.
They are developing it as a marina, in the name of greed! Another cracking fishery lost.
Stay tuned for more news on actual closing.
Steve
