Ladybower Fisheries
Tuesday 13th April 2021......Taxi Pete may have retired but he’s still gracing us with his presence, yesterday utilising the advantages of our new casting platform to get to the great total of ‘I lost count after 12’ mostly on Cat’s Whisker Puddle Bugs fished static in the upper layers. Good value for money and always up for a bit of banter is our Taxi Pete......and that’s how we like it. 😎😎😎 Fish are still largely in the margin areas all around the reservoir so pop down and catch a few. 👍 http://bit.ly/CATS-PUDDLE-BUG
Ladybower Fisheries
Tuesday 6th April 2021.......A short summary of the first week back at Ladybower Fisheries. 😎 Weather forecasts, that later proved to be quite inaccurate, caused a flurry of bookings to be moved back although those that persisted were rewarded with some decent fishing. Bank anglers in particular scored very well as the fish were largely hugging the shoreline. Mill Brook, Grainfoot, Pickles and Raspberry Bay all gave good returns as did the small part of Ladybower Bay still fishable with the reservoir almost full of water. Patterns and tactics varied although the popular Orange Dog Nobbler accounted for a large proportion of trout caught, fished slowly with the tail pinched back a bit, mainly on floating and intermediate lines. Float tubes did well in the first part of the week (until the wind got a bit too much later on) with slow sinking lines, Iain’s Ladybower Buzzer and Boobies featuring in the returns. Boats fared OK when the waves permitted with sinking lines again seeming to be the way to go although fish looked to be holding in the top ten feet of water with the temperature being around the 7 degree mark most of the week. Rod average fell off a little with the cold snap but still finished the week with a respectable 5.5 across the board. 👍👍👍👍 http://bit.ly/DOG-NOBBLER
