Richard Winser's fishing report:

"I fished Willow on Saturday the 20th of March, although due to the time of year there was some colouration to the water, I was still able to spot three fish using polarised glasses.

The trout are deep at the moment, I suspect feeding on blood worm or similar insects on the lake bed and appear to be reluctant to chase flies unless presented in very close range.

I was able to stalk and cast to this fish which is a long and lean over wintered 4lb specimen that took a Gold Ribbed Hares Ear presented within inches of its nose.

The fly pattern had a gold bead head to increase the overall weight and ensure the fly was presented quickly at depth."

Jordan Chandler with his 15lb carp from Millers Lake on 10th July 2009

Martin Chandler's fishing report:

".... the smaller fish was 15 lb exactly and was caught on a spicy tuna boilie on the 10/07/2009 by my 17 year old son Jordan Chandler. The second fish weighed in at 16 lb 12 oz and was caught on a Source boilie at 4 am on 10/07/2009 by myself. We caught 20 fish between us in a 24 hour session, 14 carp between 9 lbs and 16 lb 12 oz, 5 tench between 3lb and 7 lb the later of which was a personal best for my son and finally a roach of about 1 lb 8oz that had taken a 15 mm crab boilie !! All fish were caught using Dynamite baits The Source, Spicy Tuna and Monster Crab 15 mm boilies fished with a small stick mix and 5 boilie stringer."
