Fishing Report at 23rd October 2007

What a week! Those first frosts certainly made the rainbows think about the coming winter. Turning their attention to fry bashing it has ben exciting stuff. At Carsington the season ended well, with both lures and nymphs scoring.

At Loynton sport is excellent with several doubles coming to the bank and many anglers being broken, don't fish with less than 6lb tippet, you have been warned. Top fish in the last few days fell to client Sue Bramall, taking a 14lb 10oz rainbow using the MFF Leech.

At Watermark fish have been tricky at times, no doubt being bombarded by anglers flies since the open day has wised many fish up. Fish to 13lbs have been landed (clients caught fish to 10.5lb). Water here is slightly warmer as yet and the fish are not on fry so much, prefering to sip midege pupa.

Grayling fishing is going well, looking forward to this weekend's grayling course and meeting up with a few of you. Better fish coming to shrimp and weighted nymphs, while midge hatches are bring some fish up to dries around mid day.
