England Troutmasters Reports for Week-ending Ⅲ

Pitsford Water, Northamptonshire
The rise in temperature this week along with the warming water has made the bank fishing more challenging. However, the rod average for the week is 2.7 and there have been some notable catches. Phil Jordan has had several good days from the bank using Diawl Bachs. He returned 20 fish in three sessions. Rick Barlow has returned 34 fish and taken a rainbow at 4lb 3oz. The best bank areas have been the Cliffs, Sermans and the north shore. Boat anglers are finding fish in the Boills and Main Basin. Fish are still high in the water and feeding on the large daphnia clouds in the main basin. An invasive species of shrimp (Dikerogammarus villosus), commonly known as DV, has been found at Pitsford Water. It is important that anglers continue to follow the Check, Clean, Dry procedures in place for the preservation of our environment and sport.

Ravensthorpe Reservoir, Northamptonshire
Anglers continue to enjoy good sport despite difficult weather and water conditions. Bank fishing has been hard, with anglers taking a few fish from the dam. Boat anglers are having most success by drifting across the main basin with dry fly and emerger tactics as top of the water sport continues. K. Harney returned 20 fish, as did Paul and Dave Newham on dry fly tactics. Fraser Duffy Senior and Fraser Duffy Junior and Mick Clark caught well on dries and emergers. Mary Harkin, from Dublin, fished Foam Daddies to net over 30 fish during a two session visit, with partner Pete Matthison also enjoying good sport on similar tactics. Trevor Hall landed the best fish of the week, a fine rainbow of 8lb 14oz which took a Red/Black Crisp Packet Buzzer fished washing-line style near the Boils. Congratulations go to Ray Edgely who, at 87 years old, caught three rainbows on dry flies. Ray has now been fishing Ravensthorpe for over 50 years.

Rutland Water, Rutland
The biggest fish of the week fell to Morpeth (Northumberland) angler Paul Smith who tempted a 5lb 12oz rainbow from the South Arm. This fish had been feeding on large snails. A large red dry fly was the successful pattern. Prior to this rainbow Paul hooked and lost a very large brown. He fished both shallows of each arm on his visit, managing over 20 fish in total. Season ticket holder Keith Jones took a number of quality fish up to 5lb last Friday from both arms. The majority of boat anglers have fished the Sailing Club down through to the dam with rainbows averaging over 2lb reported. The most popular tactic is broadside drifting with lures and nymphs and rudder anglers with tube flies with fish feeding on daphnia. By the end of the week the aerators started to produce plenty of fish with various lures fished on sinking lines coupled with a variable stop-start retrieve working. The rod average at Rutland has been 3.37 for the week. The few anglers who ventured out onto the banks took fish from the North Arm shallows and the Normanton bank from the east side of Normanton Church through to the blue pipes down to Fantasy Island.
Advance notice that all boats are booked for the Scierra Pairs final on September 5-6 and there are a limited number of boats available September 1-4 inclusive.

Scaling Dam Reservoir, Cleveland
Apart from the odd gusty day it’s been quite a pleasant week with some great catches recorded by bait anglers in various locations around the reservoir. Fly anglers working along the south shore and east bay areas have also had good results, especially those who regularly changed fly. Bruce Hodgson, from Brotton, fished the east end with legered blue mango Power Bait and caught his eight fish limit. Jake Dale, from Stokesley, also fished the east end and caught his 10 fish Loyalty Day limit on green and yellow PowerBait and worm. Fly angler Mark Hammond, from Redcar, returned five and Tommy Johns, from Brotton, returned 10 rainbows including two between 4-5lb. The two biggest rainbows of the week weighing 5lb each were both landed on fly, one of three caught by Brian Lees from South Bank and one of four caught and two returned by Anthony Southworth, from Middlesbrough.  Best flies are Silver Invicta, Hoppers, Kate McLaren and Viva. Best areas are both ends of the dam wall, and south shore.

Thornwood Springs Fly Fishery, Essex
Lake two has produced some very good fishing on some days. Over a three-day period lots of rising rainbows could be seen in the rippled areas and some big browns were seen hunting in the margins after the fry. Lake two today (Friday) saw some fantastic surface action for Lee Bartlett catch up until lunch included an 11lb grown-on rainbow. Rainbows are taking CdC dry flies, with Damsels, Montana, Buzzers and Shipman’s Buzzer also scoring. Early mornings and into the evenings usually witness a good rise. Lake one is about to be de-weeded and will change to brown trout only with a beginner’s pool as well.

Toft Newton Trout Fishery, Lincolnshire
For the week-ending August 7 the 100 anglers caught 341 trout for a rod average of 3.41. A very respectable rod average for the time of year, possibly helped along by airborne terrestrials being in abundance thanks to the harvesting in surrounding fields. Fish have been very happy to feed on or near the surface, even during spells of bright weather. Patterns with some orange or fiery brown in them have done well and the popular Shipman’s is proving ever reliable. Both boat and bank anglers found a few fish with the boats edging the best of the sport. Bank anglers are advised to keep on the move, particularly if takes and offers dry up a little. The water is still clear and the weed is just starting to drop back a little. Dries will continue to produce as really will most methods on the right day. It's also worth keeping an eye out for a few early fry feeders. A few good fish out this week with plenty around 4 to 5lb. Jason James, from Alford, Lincs, managed a nicely conditioned 5lb 2oz rainbow on a dry fly.

Tungsten fishing sinker is more better than lead sinker, cause tungsten fishing sinker is high-density, corrosion resisting and environment-friendly, and all these characters are lead sinker can’t achieve.
