FISHERY UPDATE – WEEKLY NEWS
The warmer temperatures forecast for this week look set to really kick the lakes into life, and the signs are already there for all to see. Fish have been showing on the surface across the fishery, making the most of the recent conditions and giving anglers plenty of clues as to their whereabouts. Following a hard spawning period, the carp have been seen clouding up areas and actively feeding on the abundance of natural larders available throughout the lakes. As they recover and begin to feed more consistently, we're expecting the action to really step up over the coming days. Historically, this is one of the best times of the year for multiple captures, with groups of fish often feeding hard together once they switch back on after spawning. Anglers who can locate these feeding areas, stay mobile, and present baits accurately stand a great chance of putting together a big hit of fish. With settled, warm weather on the way and fish already showing plenty of signs of activity, all the ingredients are there for an excellent week ahead at Clearwater Fisheries.
Penners Pool has been in exceptional form this week, producing some incredible action and proving once again why it's such a consistent runs water. Leading the way were David Saggerson and Kevin Greenough, who enjoyed a phenomenal 48-hour session, banking a staggering 21 carp between them. Their haul included a number of quality mid-doubles, with the biggest fish weighing in at 18lb. Consistent feeding and accurate presentation kept the bites coming throughout their stay, resulting in one of the most productive sessions we've seen on the lake this year. The action didn't stop there, with the lake continuing its rich vein of form into the weekend. Regular angler Byron Talbot enjoyed another successful visit, landing 6 carp during a 24-hour session and further highlighting just how well the lake is fishing at the moment. If current conditions continue, we'd expect plenty more red-letter sessions over the coming weeks.
Kendal Lake, the newest addition to the Clearwater complex, has hit top form this week and produced one of the most memorable sessions we've seen in a long time. Youngsters Max and Leighton, joined by dad Phill, enjoyed an absolutely incredible weekend from pegs 1, 2 and 3, banking over 30 carp between them. The action was so relentless at times that the lads could barely keep their rods in the water, with multiple double and even triple takes keeping them constantly on the move. Among the haul were a number of stunning carp, including a beautiful mirror weighing 29lb, along with plenty of other quality fish. The trio kept the fish feeding confidently by introducing plenty of bait, regularly topping up with 3-5 Spombs of boilie and corn after every bite. Their simple approach of fishing spinner rigs with bright yellow wafters over the top proved devastatingly effective. The session was a perfect example of what Kendal Lake is capable of when the fish get on the feed. With the carp now recovering well after spawning and warmer weather settling in, the lake is looking better than ever and is producing some truly exceptional sport.
