Trout fishing is excellent, with average weights at 2lb 8oz. The best flies are orange fritz. The biggest fish was a 9lb 8oz rainbow, caught on a fritz.
On the coarse scene, the Erics lake saw four carp to 16lb taken by one angler on a peach boilie, the same bait working for another angler who landed two carp to 19lb. A 38lb catfish fell to meat.
On the Gainsborough seven carp to 22lb 8oz were caught with a toffee boilie, and four carp to 17l 8oz on boilies.
The Stuarts has good silver fish action, with roach to 2lb 8oz and chub to 5lb taken on worms and casters.
The water is getting cooler, so anglers need to use lots of bait and fish the margins.
