Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 27/2

Good catches were reported from both lakes at Town Parks Fishery this week.

The top Match Lake continued to produce good bags of Carp, Skimmers and Roach mainly from the deeper water pegs. Kingswear rod Richard Ward visited peg 17 again after his monster 3lbs 2oz Roach catch the day before and took plenty of Carp the best a fine 7lbs 7oz Common which fell to coarse 7mm pellet offered mid water.

Rod Metcalf continued to visit pegs he rarely fishes and took large bags of Carp and Skimmers all taken on the waggler with pellet.

The tutored morning session was full with children between 5 and 16 enjoying the sport, some for the first time. Everybody attending banked fish with some very nice Rudd and Roach to the 2lbs mark taken. Single maggot offered on a size 16 hook proved effective on the day which was bright and sunny with the fish coming up in the water.

Due to the success of the tutored mornings the Fishery will be holding further sessions during the Easter and Summer school holidays as well as some weekend and after school evening’s once the daylight start drawing out.
