This weeks adverse weather together with water temp drop has still seen some excellent fish size and some good numbers of catches.

Anglers who have scaled down end tackle and obtained a  balanced ratio  to suit the varing conditions have caught at a better rate on balanced tackle, best baits Angel 4mm expander pellet,  maggot, caster, worm, sweetcorn, together with tiny quantities of Angel feed pellets.

Bassetts producing Orfe, Ide, Carp, Rudd, Roach and Bream.
