At last our rivers are picking up some form.
Plenty of perch to 1lb and lots of skimmers in the 8oz range coming out to light fished rigs with pinkie bait.
Early morning double figure bream catches to feeder tactics near to the motorway bridge above the lock. Plenty of skimmers below the lock and tench just a little along past the cut at Milton.
Very weedy but fish in the runs between the streamer weed and you will find fish particularly skimmer bream.
Fishing well for roach to hemp in double figure catches.
Early morning tench and bream to 6lb regular but pre bait is a must.
Plenty of dace and small chub near the pike and eel pub.Rudd in the early pegs at the Mepal end of the river.
Upware swims look good with plenty of fish moving.Twenty swims are cut out and the weed cutter has been through.
The Top bank has been cut and so access is good.
Few reports but worth a go now we are getting into the season.
Great evening sport with roach dace and chub all showing.Very weedy in places but fish are in the gravel runs.
Still not on form but due to produce summer tench catches if we remain with the warm weather.
Early Morning or evening are best for fish up to 6lb.
Very weedy and so some weed clearing of swims is necessary.

Hi Graham,
This was my first time back on this lake after a few years. Can’t believe how gorgeous this lake is now.
We stayed on the lake for 48hrs and were using pellets, fishy boilies, sausage baits and dog biscuits. After a lot of hard work, we banked two immaculate fish between the four of us. One was on my favourite squid sausage bait and the other on surface fished dog biscuit by my mate/birthday boy club member Steve Wright.
My mates noticed that stalking the lake with surface fished baits seemed to be more successful. The problem they had was just hooking them, very finicky!
I stuck with bottom fished baits and pellet waggler, as I forgot my surface gear, Doh!
Overall the fishing was very hard, but I had a cracking weekend away with great mates. If you don’t mind a challenge, then give this lake a go.
However make sure you have a rake to hand, as this lake is very weedy at the moment.
