Willowgate fishery- weekend report

Apologies for the lack of reports. I have been away from work recently with a back injury. Here is a weekend report from Martin Smith. Mike

Willowgate was relatively quiet at the weekend but those anglers who did fish enjoyed some sensational sport.

Regular visitor Mick Leo had the best catch on Saturday with 2 for 6lbs and 17 returned. A small goldhead black tadpole was his best fly.

On Sunday James Litster and Greg Donnelly had around 80 fish between them on catch & release They caught fish from virtually every peg and fished a variety of tactics including blob and bung, straight-lined buzzers, dries and a black rabbit on a slow glass. Greg had a fish of around 10lbs on his first cast of the day!

With the evenings lengthening, the fishery will be open until 8.30pm this week

Also the road has now been tarred and is as smooth as a babies backside.

Please contact the fishery on 01738446546 for any more info.


Tight Lines, Martin
