CARSINGTON WATER. Rod average 1.7. Slight increase on rod average again this week, perhaps reflective of more settled overcast conditions. Good quality fish are still being caught and are still proving that they are feeding on fry. As a result most fish are being taken on big flashy lures fished at varying depths pulled fast. Several anglers have done very well on tube fly tactics using heavy sink lines. Anglers must be prepared to mover around at the moment as it is making the difference between a very good day and a poor one at the moment! Fish appear to be highly mobile at the moment and covering a lot of water also they can be found at any depth during the day. Anglers would be advised to identify the fringes of any weed beds present and try and fish in front as a lot of fish appear to be patrolling these areas looking for fry. The dam wall area and all of Millfields and Upperfields Bay side are proving good areas to concentrate on initially.
Week ending September 17
DRAYCOTE. Rod average 3.06. In general, the sport has really improved with the cooler conditions. The Cornfield has been best for bank anglers and Toft and Biggin Bay have been the preferred areas for boats. Damsel, Goldhead, Bunny Leach, Small Zonka, Soldier Palmer, Hares Ear, Black Buzzer and Diawl Bach have all done well at different times.
Week ending September 15
BEWL WATER. Rod average 4.85. Mid-September usually marks a dramatic change in fishing with the onset of cooler weather after the slow summer days. This season has been no exception with rod averages rocketing spurred on by a remarkably good catch rate for the Bewl Bridge Flyfishing Club's Annual Invitation Match on September 14 in which 108 anglers averaged over six fish per rod. Best flies were Bunny and Olive Hare's Ear, Daddies, Hoppers, Minkies and Diawl Bachs.
