He and a pal were visiting us for the first time today and were both enjoying great sport on deer hare emergers. The water is gin clear at the moment and the trout are readily coming up to feed on the surface making for some fantatic sport. Thanks for coming along guys and hope to see you again soon.

 

 

 

Willowgate trout fishery- Beginners great sucess

Willowgate trotu fishery- We are always delighted to see new anglers fishing with us. If we can help you with some casting tuition or help you catch you're first trout please ask us for help. It was great to see some new anglers out by themselves today catching trout. Our new weed boat (below) has been a great success. The water is very clear again as nighttime temperatures begin to fall into autumn. Its a great time to stalk a trout with nymphs or dry fly.

Willowgate trout fishery- This is our new weed boat pictured in operation. This will help us control aquatic vegetation in the pond during the summer much more efficiently. Willowgate is fishing very well just now with great catches being made. As water temperatures begin to drop into Autumn the trout become even more active. Look out for some big catches during September.
