CATCH REPORTS TO 18th MARCH.

The good weather has encouraged anglers to get out on the bank, with all the waters here being busy and producing good catches. Of the coarse pools, Amiees has fished well all week, with the best bag being 71lb of mixed species, mainly small carp and roach, to Torquay angler Mark Reese.

The day ticket specimen lake has been steady and some lumps have been out. Amongst the reported catches were cats to 34lb for Glenn Island, and Richard Bradbeare took a lovely 23.08 mirror, caught on our own Emperor boilies from Cornwall Baits. Jack Palmer from Exeter landed a mirror of 28.06, John from Newbarn, on a guest ticket, had a mid double common, but top honours go to the Dobson brothers from Exmouth, with Martin taking a 32+ mirror and Alan taking a 27+ mirror, both being new PB's.

The season ticket lake has also thrown up some lumps, with Malcolm Best netting a 35.12 common, the second large common in as many weeks. Steve Ellison took a 29 lb common and Nigel Edgecombe of Loddiswell had a lovely brace consisting of a mirror of just over 30lbs and a common of 25.08, a new fish stocked a year ago at low twenties.
