The Bigwell Blog – Week 18/07/19

Weekly fishing report For the week ending 18/07/19

 

Mornings are proving to be the best time to come and fish , particularly at this time of year, when our pools are struggling with the balance of nature, namely WEED, but after the overnight flow of spring water they are clear of the floating weed that appears as the day wears on, our pools all remain fishable Bigwell will do its best to keep it that way, our cool fresh spring water is our saving grace so the gates to Bigwell as always remain open.
