Packington Trout Fishery
FISHING REPORT – WEEK ENDING 04/05/08
Last week there were 123 rods caught 518 fish for an average of 4.21 per rod.
The Fishery is in excellent form with lots of fish moving on the surface and plenty of quality fish being caught.
The best fish of the week was an estimated 15lb + rainbow caught by Alan Pell of Stretton-on-Dunsmore who was fishing from the bank of Cocks Close. Alan took a 2 fish limit using a Damsel Nymph and his first fish to catch and release turned out to be the monster. Derek Bolton of Meriden also returned a double figure rainbow whilst boat fishing on the Great Pool and this one fell to a small Holo Buzzer. Bill Sheehy of Birmingham took a 9lb rainbow from a boat on Park Meadow which fell to a small black Buzzer on a floating line. Johhn Boneham of Coventry took an 8lb 14oz rainbow from the bank of Cocks Close and this fell to a Cats Whisker fished on an intermediate line.
The Packington Fly Fishers fished their annual Jubilee Cup on Cocks Close and the winner was Mark Sturgess of Nuneaton who took a five fish limit, weighing 12lb 8oz, caught on a combination of Lures and Buzzers.
All the pools are in fine form with good hatches particularly in the evening. Small imitative patterns such as Diawl Bach, P T Nymph, GRHE, Damsel, Bloodworm, CDC Emergers and Buzzers are working best.
The sandbank and road bank on Cocks Close have been the best areas.
