FISHERY UPDATE – WEEKLY NEWS
The recent shift in weather has made a huge difference across the complex. After the heat wave, the arrival of rain and lower-pressure conditions has really switched the fish on, with noticeably stronger feeding activity and plenty of action on every lake. Anglers have been reporting stacks of bites throughout the day, with fish feeding confidently in a range of areas and methods producing well across the board. The cooler, wetter conditions have clearly encouraged fish to move and feed more freely, creating some excellent opportunities for both regulars and visiting anglers. With the forecast remaining unsettled, now is a great time to get down and make the most of the increased activity. Tight lines to everyone fishing the complex!
It has been a staggering week of action on Kellet Lake, with bites coming steadily and several impressive fish over the 30lb mark. Daniel Finigan enjoyed a great session, landing eight fish including five over 20lb, with his biggest reaching 24lb. Max Dawson also added to the week’s tally with four fish during his 48-hour session. Alan Branagh had an amazing three-night stay, banking an incredible 14 fish, including one of Kellet’s characters—the Cut Tail Koi at 33lb. Regular angler Len Woodworth capped off a great weekend with four fish to his name: 20lb, 22lb, 26lb and 31lb. A brilliant week on Kellet Lake, with plenty of feeding activity.
Kendal Lake has not been far behind Kellet for bites this past week, with plenty of fish feeding well and some lovely catches reported. Mark Nolan and his family enjoyed a productive couple of days on the lake, landing five fish between them. Their catch included fish of 16lb, 17lb, 19lb, 21lb and 23lb—a great result for the family session. Earlier in the week, Declan Cross also had a productive session, banking four fish including a couple of cracking 20lb-plus carp.
Another strong week on Kendal Lake, with the fish clearly in the mood to feed.
