Fishing report for week ending 22/08/19

 

 

Despite the hot sunny days, our pools remain cool and fishable, we do have some weed but for the time of year our pools are looking good. Fishing has been challenging in the heat, for our Anglers but our fish are lively because of our cool water and when caught put up a tremendous fight.
A Nice catch  for Corbin Skeen who landed 5 on catch and kill, his  heaviest one weighing in at 3lb 6oz then went on to release his 10.
