Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 30/3

Both lakes at Town Parks Fishery responded well to the higher temperatures this week bringing the fish onto the feed. The Specimen Lake produced some great sport with Carp and Catfish taking anglers baits.

Junior Sophie Batt fished with dad, Town Parks regular Gordon initially fishing maggot on the float. After taking a good Bream near the 3lbs mark Sophie also banked numerous Roach to 2lbs! Turning her attention to the Carp she banked 2 fine fish, both personal bests!
