The rain this week has dropped water temperatures to 13 deg unheard of in previous Augusts, however it has also lead to a 2 foot thermal warm layer of water as it has been so still this week, the fish are favouring this warm layer when getting caught, this warmer layer varies up or down in the water depending on barometer, however this layer mixed in with the rest of the lake water when the winds came on Sunday,
All species of fish are feeding well as the know shorter daylight hours means autumn approaches
 
Bowes
Fishing has been fantastic during dusk and dawn for carp with some very good large carp coming out on mussel, Ian Dixon caught both a large mirror and a large common on the same evening both on mussel. Other successes for carp have been with conker and worm with Jon Ethrington from Blyth also getting a large common of 26lb 4oz at dusk; on the same evening Ian caught which was Wednesday.
 
Lookout
Some cracking silvers have been caught with good ide, large bream as well as a crucian of 3lb 10oz, good rudd, roach, perch, Orfe, skimmers, and tench all catching well feeding up as autumn approaches. Carp catching best between early mornings then late evening,
 
Bassetts
Fishing well for carp and for silvers this proved a great pond in the heavy winds, as it is so sheltered,
