Very changeable weather saw fishing conditions vary from productive to very testing day by day at Town Parks Fishery.
Silvers in the top Match Lake continued to take maggot and caster freely producing medium bags whilst the Carp went on and off the feed during the colder days.
Once again the dam wall pegs tended to produce the better carp bags particularly the margin reeds around peg 20.
Rod Metcalf did take 10 Carp from peg 13 during an early morning session but as soon as the wind picked up the fish stopped feeding!
Medium mixed bags were reported from most pegs with some very nice Skimmers still showing!
On the Specimen Lake Ian Ross continued his remarkable run of catches with a superb personal best Mirror of 24lbs 5oz! Fishing the main island from peg 10 Ross tempted the fish, one of six taken during his session, with a pineapple pop up.
Jamie Gambles banked a beautifully marked 14lbs 1oz fully scaled Carp from peg 1 which fell to a pineapple pop up.
Stockport rod Carl Jenkins visited peg 14 for a 24hr stint and was rewarded with a fine brace of fish, a Mirror of 19lbs 15oz and a Common of 20lbs 3oz. Both fish fell to squid and octopus pop up’s fished mid water during the early hours of the morning. Jenkins also lost a “monster” Carp at the net after a battle lasting some 30 minutes!
Eleven 20lbs plus fish have been banked in the last three weeks!
Junior Harrison Arnold fished with dad Hele Park Golf Pro Duncan for a silvers session and banked some very large Roach on maggot from peg 2.
