Willowgate trout fishery- Fishing well, weed cutting

Willowgate trout fishery- Weed cutting operations have been going full steam at Willowgate this week, with lots of new areas opened up to fishers. These areas are already producing good catches. Imitative patterns are still doing well, but anglers who wish to fish small lures or blobs are also having success. The natural life around the pond is fantastic and it is maturing nicely. The fish are currently enjoying a feast of small fogs and sticklebacks and the ever present buzzer hatches. It is very rewarding to see wildlife responding to the careful management of the pond and its surrounding land. It is truly becoming a wildlife haven.
