Unfortunately the weathers not been too kind this week with it being rather wet and damp with constantly changing winds but anglers doing well once they found cover, Sunday was the best with temperature reaching mid 20s. The rains have slightly raised the water level again but fish still sitting in that 2-5ft range.

The summer has finally arrived. The weather was nicely settled (before the heatwaves right now!) and fish fish were up and having it!
This being backed up by a very healthy rod average of 10.

Well that was a warm week! With temperatures constantly around and mostly above the 30 degree mark there's no wonder the fishing slowed a little. As to be expected once the surface temperature crept up to and above 20 degrees the trout dropped deeper in search of more comfort.

We did have a cooler week which gives hope that the Bower could switch back on any day now, the surface temperature has cooled off nicely and with the addition of 1000 home grown rainbows introduced on Wednesday things should get better soon.
