Catch of the week:

Ian Grand from Hartlepool landed 5 fish in a good session and recorded the biggest rainbow of the week weighing in at 3lb 2oz. Ian caught all his fish on a Mice Tail and PowerBait Egg concoction from the disabled jetty.

Memorable moment of the week:

Alan Simpson from Ormesby fishing with his friend Barry had a fantastic day on the Dam Wall at the East End catching 8 rainbows including two around 3lbs in weight for total weight of 19lbs. Alan just pipped his friend Barry who also landed a fine 8 fish limit for 17lb 12oz. All of their fish were caught using PowerBait in various colours including Orange, Green and Purple on a simple ledger rig set up.

Best area and flies:

The early part of the week the East End was best for fly anglers with some good catches recorded and several trout returned. The latter half of the week both ends of the reservoir produced results. Floating lines and on windier day’s intermediate lines with Kate McLaren, Black Hopper, Cat’s Whisker and Dawson’s Olives all producing fish.

Best areas & baits / lures

After a slow start to the week the weather brightened and both ends of the reservoir sprang into action with the East End providing best sport with many anglers recording heavyweight 8 fish limit catches. Orange and Chartreuse PowerBait Eggs worked really well along with Garlic flavoured PowerBait Worm and Maggot.
