Draycote Fishing Report w/e Sunday 31st May 2015
Draycote has continued in rich form this week as both boat and bank anglers have had some fantastic catches. Some of the descriptions that anglers have written on the catch return sheets seems to show that we are getting things about right here at the moment, although not all would agree. Some anglers still seem to struggle a bit on what appears on paper to be a good day. Here at Draycote, if you are having a bit of trouble out there, we would rather you rang us, as by midday or so we usually have a good idea of where the fish are being caught and what is going on out on the reservoir.
In the past couple of months the fishing has been at its best around the margins of the reservoir, but in the last week or so a number of larger fish are showing up over the shoals and out in open water. These fish are being caught on a wide variety of methods, the mainstay of which has been DI5’S and DI 7’s using blob’s or tube flies.
The weather has remained changeable all week, with this rather persistent westerly pestering the life out of both us and the anglers. This has not hampered the fishing too much as the rod average this week has been 4.7. It seems that as long as you are willing to move around and try different methods, you should have a good day.
Best bank areas; The north shore from Dunns bay all the way down in to Toft. Rainbow corner.
Best boat areas; Dunns bay, Biggin bay, Toft, Farborough spit and Rainbow corner.
Best flies ;Buzzers, Dawl bachs, Nemo Crunchers, Damsels, Montanas, Pitsford peas and the dreaded Orange blob.
Best lines; Floaters, midge tips, intermediates, DI5’s and DI7’s.
