Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 17/3

Unsettled weather created difficult fishing conditions at Town Parks Fishery this week.

On the Specimen Lake Cornwall rod Guy Radford fished through freezing conditions from peg 10. Redford banked his first Carp around 3.30 am but after resting the net on the unhooking mat the net froze and had to be quickly put back into the water to allow the fish to swim free!

Three more Carp, all good doubles, were netted by dawn but Radford unhooked them in the water to avoid stressing them out too much. Cell boilies fished mid water tempted the fish although, due to the freezing conditions the baits had been in the water for some 15 hours before being taken!

Snowy weather over the Match Lake at Town Parks Fishery this week.

Best fish around the 17lbs mark!

Local rod Gordon Batt fished the shallows of peg 6 and was rewarded with a fine condition Common of 16lbs 3oz! Batt also lost a larger fish at the net! The fish fell to maggot offered in the margins.

Local rod Gordon Batt fished from peg 6 at Town Parks Fishery and banked this lovely condition Common Carp during difficult, cold conditions. Batt also lost another larger fish at the net!

On the top Match Lake the fish continued to feed albeit sporadically.

Carp were banked from various depths with fish taking pellet and corn at around the 4 foot depth on sunny days!

Good Silvers were also taken at varying depths taking maggot or castor freely. Some nice sized Bream were taken from just short of the main island for anglers fishing soft pellet on the bottom.

Changeable weather during the week produced testing fishing conditions on the Match Lake at Town Parks Fishery.
