Coarse Fishing: On the 21st August newcomer Josh started using moist Chum mixer pellets in the Main Lake It was Josh's day as he caught and landed after a short hard struggle his PB best Carp at 12lb 6oz (photograph above), well done Josh!

Nineoaks' Coarse lakes fish extremely well with dog mixer biscuits whether bait banded dry ones or pre-soaked, moist ones. Usually early morning of afternoons into the evening are the best times. Many good carp have been caught during the past month with many on dog biscuits plus Luncheon meat, Sweetcorn and Campbells meat balls everywhere on the Coarse lakes. Another example of a soft dog biscuit caught fish by Jo Pearson (pictured above) with her PB of 10lb 10oz. Meanwhile, Fred Freeman fishing luncheon meat had a lovely 19lb 3oz Mirror in the Main Lake (pictured). On Friday 22nd August fishing dog biscuit Ms Jo Pearson from LLangollen with a 10lb 10oz Common Carp (pictured). Many other Carp, Tench, skimmer and Grass Carp are consistently being landed on a variety of baits. Definitely chum mixers for early morning sessions in the margins and after 4pm each day.

The Novice pool is consistently producing some lovely small Carp, some excellent Roach and the occasional skimmer. Every youngster fishing it has had a great time. The Novice Pool also contains Carp to nearly 4lb and someone during each week has one or two. Best baits are luncheon meat, sweet corn and bread.

The House pool is just getting better and better as each season passes. Several 2lb Roach have been caught with plenty 1/2lb+. Some good Tench are coming out up to 4lb, Grass Carp to 10lb and plenty of Carp with the best during August being a 12 1/2lb Ghost Mirror. Maggots always a good bait, chick peas, luncheon meat, sweet corn and Bread are consistently picking up good fish with the better angler alternating their baits every few fish to continuously catch all day.

Trout Fishing: Following the warmer weather when the water temperature rose to 20° since then we have had plenty of rain and water temperatures are much lower. Trout fishing continues to improve. Many anglers are now catching Rainbows and Blues in the 2lb range with the occasionally bigger fish. Late evenings and early mornings are certainly better than mid-day fishing. Small, wet flies, nymphs, montanas and the like are the consistently better than dry flies. Most fish have been caught at about 3ft deep.  to see our photo gallery.
