Cracking morning at Colwick, 6 fish bag weighed in at 20lb 12oz, then caught 4 more on catch & release, The new montady variant is doing is stuff, nice
ReplyDelete18/05/2013: After 2 slow weeks Lake seems to have begun picking up. Last weekend had a number of good 6 fish bags and really quality fish appearing. Boats beginning to do well and yes I have at last started to see rising fish across the lake. Log suggests a switch to naturals with buzzers and Daiwl Bachs featuring highly. Sorry for few postings - I was away for a week and have had a bereavement in the family to cope with.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant day today. Everything that could happen from boat seat being run over in car park to every sort of take; dry cruncher; shark follow and swallow and Kez's spectacular double hook up and leap from the water did happen! Finished with 20 to the boat - I scraped one more from Buzzer Bay Kez before losing two to a hook gape opening - check your hooks as you go folks.
ReplyDeleteColwick should be packed it's fishing so well. Why go anywhere else?
i would agree with jed colwick fishing so well me & jed went out 2day a bit slower than yesterday with the sun being out takeing 14 to the boat u would get more if u lure fished but thats boreing. if its a cloudy day hoppers r the buisiness 2day we was fishing the washing line with buzzers. black crunchers. .get down there tight lines.
ReplyDeleteCor I 'm envious, wish I had time to be there!
ReplyDeleteI'm sooo envious, just wish I had time to get there. Can not believe others are missing out on this spectacular bonanza!
ReplyDeleteAn unexpected day on Colwick today. And what a day! Put all the tactics from Sat & Sun to good use. Not as many fish showing today in the sun but they were not deep at all. Most of the day was spent drifting and only really anchored for any length from 4.30 - 5.45 when fish finally began actually showing themselves. I added 14 to the rest of thje days 14 to finish on 28. UV crunchers, quill buzzers and UV arsed damsel nymphs did the damage all day. As Kezz says - get down there!

ReplyDeleteBanks in Buzzer Bay now strimmed. Weed a problem from the bank and boat lodge end though deep water clear. Still fishing well.
ReplyDeleteHad 12 in just over 3 hours this morning on red holographic diawl backs and green diawl bachs, strong north easterly, blowing along marina bank which is where the fish are currently
ReplyDeletegreat fishing mate. you caught on dawl bachs were does the montaddy come
ReplyDeletein to this lol
Good fishing although patchy, caught along Marina bank and off playground bank on Black Nomad, black cruncher and diawl bachs. Took a novice out only caught her first trout yesterday and two more landed today off a boat for fist time. So all good.
ReplyDeleteBit vague for much of today. Far too much time faffing about but managed 6. Kezz as professional as ever managed 160 I think. Variable conditions made it a thinking day to keep up with what they wanted. Washing line slow for the most part. Great to Taylor from Saturday's Taster buying his season permit and then catching two from the bank during the day. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteExcellent days fishing today fishing the washing line in the morning i had crunchers
ReplyDeleteon, midday buzzers then back to crunchers later it was 16 not 160 jed was fafflng
about all day changing flies but i stucked to me guns
Great stuff Kezz, wish I had come back to Colwick on Monday as Widgeon and Farm were not good, wind was very strong. Thought I had commented on my day at Colwick on Sunday, good day with newcomer to the Trout as you witnessed. Catching on anything black, crunchers, diawl bachs, black nomad and little black fritzy weighted fly.

Well done Keith. I struggled in the cold, variable and multi directional wind with bright sunshine today. 1 to the boat and 1 lost dropper.
