General
Fish are feeding up very strongly as though they know autumn is on the way. Fishing tight to margins or out against the island is producing very well, so is 11meters out, some stunning carp coming out and giving great sport fighting well, all species feeding up well, in margins at 3ft of first shelf, or 6 foot of second shelf, 11 meters out, up in the water or dead bottom, make sure you use watercraft to choose pegs and then decide what method you are going to choose to fish.
Best baits on the hook have been angel banded 10mm pellets, expander pellets, soft hooker pellets, maggots, casters, worm, mussel, sweet corn and paste (try making paste out of angels 3mm pellets works a treat,), for feed chop worm and caster, maggots, angel feed pellets, or soak angel feed pellets with some groundbait.
Bowes
All species are feeding up very well,, some stunning carp coming out and giving great sport fighting well, Large numbers of big bream out to 11lb 2oz, Ide approx 1.5lb coming out also in good numbers, tench, golden tench, rudd, roach skimmers, Orfe, all catching,

Pegs 3 & 23 cast to the aerator tight in to it, peg 1 fish to your right or to the island, peg 40 fish out or to your left, corner pegs are very productive close in, careful of the monsters they love the corners and boy do they go when caught, pegs facing the islands bomb or feeder out tight to reeds and high up as close as you can get.,
Alan Mc Guire caught 90lb in Wednesdays match and lost more than these by the fish spitting the hooks at the net.

General
Swim feeders, Pellet wagglers, waggler, bomb and pole have been methods to catch this week, with some days catch rates have been very high and then when the rains came in torrents it switched the fish of as the rain dropped water temperature down 2 degrees, when the temperature rose again so did catch rates.
Every species is feeding up well with the shorter day light hours, it is important to get the feed patterns correct and the method of fishing to get good catch rates. Feeding a second and third swim so you have different areas to target fish have worked well, feeding up in the water for Rudd has produced some excellent catches. Margins up in the water both by peg and of far bank catching well and just of the second shelf dead bottom also doing well.
Lookout
Some cracking catches with Luke Bruce catching over 100 carp plus many may silvers in a seven-hour session all carp averaged 5lb all caught on Angel 10mm expander pellets.

Best baits, Hook: – 10mm angel pellet banded, worm, caster, maggot (multiples), paste, soft pellets, and cubes of luncheon meat.
Get feed patterns correct little and often very often.

The fish are feeding well especially when the water temperature came up after all the rain, best carp weighed in was a mirror of 25lb 6oz and best Bream was 11lb 7oz, however tench, rudd, roach, ide, Orfe, crucians, and carp all feeding well and catching well.

General
Fish are very aware of the shorter day light hours and feeding exceptionally well as they know Autumn is around the corner and feeding up for the winter ahead to get into prime condition.
Some great catches have been had by pleasure anglers who have got the feed patterns and choice of pegs as well as the choice of methods for example pellet waggler, feeder, bomb or pole and are targeting species specific.
Some excellent carp out best one again on fly was a 27lb 10oz common on Bowes. Koi and Ghosties and carp on Lookout as well as some big bags of silvers. Best tench out this week was on Lookout by young Johnny Heworth 14yrs old on Mussel on peg 38 a 8lb 3oz green male tench he also had two crucians one at 3lb 2oz and a 2lb 7oz as well as carp, and skimmers.

Fishing very well with some fantastic catches on 10mm angel pellets banded, paste made from angels 3mm pellets also doing exceptionally well, especially tight in of the second shelf. Maggot, caster and chopped worm bring in some large catches and angels 10 mm expanders are now coming into there own as water temperatures cool down to 14 degs.
Luke Bruce on a session on Bowes caught 102 carp all on angels expander pellets and fed them as well.
Bassetts
With the end of National Fishing Month this pond has seen over 250 new anglers start to learn how to fish, its been a very productive pond with most new anglers catching double figures of fish.

General
Another Ton Up and a match record achieved in 3 hours!!!!! On Bowes 129lb 14oz of Carp from peg 3 by Tony Watson on pellet waggler and Angels 10mm feed pellets banded to the aerator.
All lakes are fishing exceptionally well and fish are feeding up for the autumn ahead, you need to be on stronger elastic as well as stronger line as otherwise you will get snapped off, ragged all over or the hook straightened.
Some quality fish being caught on all lakes as well as quantity.
Paste is fishing well made from angels 3mm feed pellets, as well as 10mm angels feed pellet banded on to the hook, also working is the conker which is angels 10mm feed pellet banded then wrapped in paste made from angels 3mm feed pellets, worm and caster is bringing in bream and skimmers as well as perch, but silvers catching in great numbers as well.
Lookout
Fridays match produced by ONE a total catch of 93lb 6oz from peg 1 (52lb 2oz silvers, 41lb 4oz carp) all on paste (made from angels 3mm feed pellets) on top 3.
Fishing very well and great catches of silvers as well as carp, although carp feeding early and late in the day with season ticket holders coming around dawn and then dusk to get great catch rates.
Pellet, paste, maggot, worm, caster all catching well, sweetcorn is OK and luncheeon meat cubed is also doing well, try mussels for tench.
Bowes
Tony Watson 124lb 10oz peg 3 (was 129lb 14oz but went over in 1 net) caught carp on pellet waggler using Angel 10mm banded feed pellets in 3 hours on Wednesday night match which is a new match record. , So fishing excellently if you get the feed patterns and tactics correct on the day,
Fish still following wind if S or W so choose pegs accordingly.
Fly fishing for carp on a evening from 5pm to 8pm still catching well.
Bassetts
