CATCH REPORTS TO 22nd APRIL.

A good week on the day ticket lake, with signs of the bigger catfish starting to feed. Mark Harroway took one of 63.08 plus a mirror of 18.08, and Ashley Commander landed a cat of 55.08, along with a leather carp of 26.02 and common of 22.02. Craig Sheffield had a 26lb mirror, plus a 16lb common, James Hubble landed a mirror of 23.08 and Jezz Sweatland took a catfish of 35lbs, along with a common of 15.02. Despite the recent drain down and subsequent removal of 50 catfish under 25lbs, obviously some were missed as Adam Sloman caught one of 18.02 and Jamie Parr had another of 18.04.

A slow week on the season ticket water, although at least two big lumps were reported as lost, one right at the net. Nevertheless Scott Wainbridge landed a PB mirror of 30.04, Matt Holland took a 25.07 mirror and Dave Reekie banked a common of 29.11. Gary Baker took a common of 26.07 and Jason Edwards landed a mirror of 17.02.

Sport is still lively on the coarse pools, with Amiees producing mixed bags of 58lbs to Russell Collins, 56lbs to Julie Bates and 45lbs to Mark Roberts. Jamie Parr continued his earlier successes with a 70lbs bag in just a short session, and on Teardrop Pool several carp in the 3-4lb range and tench to 9lb 12ozs were taken.
