Trout Masters fish off Sunday in blazing sunshine won by Keith Prowting with 5 fish for 16lb 7oz. An excellent catch in very difficult conditions. Action to damsel nymph between two islands the previous day - 17 hits for 7 fish to the tube. But very patchy. 1st find the fish. Anyone fancying fly fishing for carp - huge 20 - 40lb fish cruising the rocks in Buzzer Bay in the sunshine?
Not easy as trout are spread out throughout the lake. I had 5 whilst fishing the troutmaster fish off and lost one, all taken off the south point. Last stocking of the summer this week, next stocking starts in September.
fished colwick 2day what a day cought 15fish all of the the top on black hoppers up nere top islands & out side the lodge jed the warden did not like it because he was working told me to clear of which was nice lol
Kev & Tony both playing fish right outside the lodge at the same time! Insult to injury. Really positive to see someone catching a decent bag. Said it was the best day weather wise for weeks before Kev went out. Watch it rain from Tuesday when I get a few days off.
me & john middo fished colwick 2day i fish hoppers john fished buzzers to no avail 12aclock came with no fish you guest it the di7 went on with a pitsford pea john catching 2 me 7 top corner brownie deeps between the 2island holding fish odd fish riseing in buzzer bay if you fish lures black & green deep you will catch them.
Not a bad weekend with several limit bags. Kev 'only' caught 7 on Sunday! Boats doing better than the bank at the moment. Weather still changing by the hour, never mind the day. Anchor for sp14 - Tom in the back at the lodge and chain for sp1 Kev in my bottom locker in the back ( I didn't want it thrown as scrap Kev). I'm in Yorkshire for the next two weeks - with some fishing gear. Jed
fished colwick 2night i met up with 4 poachers not english fishing back of buzzer bay bank i said to one of them no spinning in here he said me dont understand so i said it again then he got me drift he told his mate's then went.. .any way i fished on the point with a suspender buzzer & a cruncher caught 4 on there & 1 on the road not a bad night but them poachers did me head in.
Those at the meeting tonight will know Kezz and I enjoyed another great day at Colwick with 36 to the boat at the finish. Dennis the Menace Buzzer deep and twitchy slow between islands produced terrific takes for both of us. Another stocking today = approx 4,500 fish in with very little sign of cormorant. Most fishable banks have been strimmed.
Much harder today. Brownie Deeps = no sign of fish. Between islands and drifts worked in the morning with a small scruffy uv damsel. Then I lost it, the whole leader infact and went without for a long, long time. Nothing else in the box that was scruffy enough, so roughed up a new 'proper' one and it started to work. For real or just coincedence? Ended the day on buzzers between islands as the other day. Did manage 14 by 5.30 but lost and missed more than I caught. Last fish took off like a train and I was convinced it was a big, big fish. Turned out to be blue of about 21/2lb. Beautiful fish and fighting way above its weight.
I fished on Thur 12th just 4 hours in the morning and had great sport landing 9, all great fish caught on black buzzers or a Damsel between Island, 2 in Brownie Deeps, 3 off Road side and one between the points. Floater and Midge tip. The best Colwick has been for a while, so glad you told me to go out Jed and Kezz. Thanks.
another excellent day a colwick i caught 16 on the denice the manace again & midge tip in brownie deeps corner .brian simmons had a good day aswell he had 17 on buzzers fished slow .4 day tickets was saying how good the fishing is at the moment all bagging up .
good buzzer fishing 2day on a midge tip releaseing 10. fishing in a boat out from the road strech tom morton got is bag limit fishing next boat to me.there is loads of fish in front of the road sfrech island its worth a cast or two.
I had 8 to the boat on damsels (Heineken) in a3hr session this morning, fishing near to the entrance. To where. The boats are moored over night, casting withing inches of the overhanging trees
I had a great day yesterday landing 10 including two mega fish, one weighing 6lbs 2oz, the other looked very similar was carefully returned. Kezz your Damsel worked well for first hour, then a switch to black buzzers, the new Rio Midge Tip had a good outing! Then off to Buzzer Bay for the last hour or so. Took 3 on a Di 5 FAB/Nymph/Nomad set up which worked well.

ReplyDeleteBuzzer Bay banks now strimmed. Weed becoming a problem from banks. Boats definitely beginning to do better with more good bags today.
