The Burwell Lode has had a weed cut but with the warm weather it is still best to rake.
Reports of some very big Rudd have been seen in the middle section of the river.
Hi Graham. James Fordham and myself fished Burwell lode for the tench for four days. Between us we caught 17 fish topped with this 5lb 15oz fish. Sweet corn fished over ground bait and small halibut pellets accounted for most of the fish. The haul also included 4 Rudd all around 1lb and bream to 4.5lb. The Reach Lode has very recently had all of the lollies cut out. It has ruined the fishing in the short term with almost no fish showing at all. Best avoided for a while? Paul Burgess
Twenty swims cut out above prickwillow bridge along the road stretch. No catch reports.
Plenty of bream showing in the pegs near the A14 road bridge. Ball it in tactics are best but heavy weed is a problem so take a weed rake.
Great sport with serveral double figure carp coming out to night fishing. Bollies are the best bait at the moment. Good mixed bag catches to double figures ,mainly rudd roach perch and tench. Castors proveing to be the top feed bait with ground bait mix and sweetcorn.
Double figure catches of silver fish,Some bream also showing to 5lb.Heavy feed tactics are best. Carp to 20lb from the A lake. Roger our balliff is being assisted by Robert Posey. We are trying to keep the lake clear of litter but your help would be appreciated.The lake is closed all day for our club match Sunday the 3rd of August.
