COOLER CONDITIONS and cloud cover - the change in the weather to a more seasonable average certainly improved the fishing at Witton Castle Lakes this week. We welcomed 22 visiting anglers through the gates who saw improved success than of late with the fish moving again.

Anglers still had to show patience and the best of the week was ‘Mitch’ with a bag of 5 fish, followed by R.Bert who caught 3 fish. G.Mercer, P.Stonehouse and P.Barnet all had bags of 2 fish each.

The best fish of the week were two car fight 3lb specimens caught by R.Bert and G.Mercer.

The usual suspects from the fly box had most of the success, them weigh Blobs, Buzzers and CDC’s with Dart Owl making an appearance towards the end of the week.

Now that the weather has become more Autumnal the fish should continue to move, giving visiting anglers a fighting chance.
