AFTER AN extremely quiet previous week Witton Castle Lakes welcomed 12 dedicated anglers this last week who braved the cold temperatures to fish the lakes. With the going very hard they saw limited success with bag numbers kept into single figures.

The best of the weeks anglers was J.Walker who returned the best total along with the best fish of the week, a fine 3lb rainbow to reward his patience.

Snakes have been by far the best fly of the week but Black & Green Fritz and Zonkers also made it onto the sheets.

With this next week being the final full week of the normal season we will publish winter opening times in our next report and on the lakes’ website.
