Weekly Reports from Angel of the North Fishing Lakes
Weekly report for 29 June 2008
Fishing on all lakes is cracking the best of the year with all species spawned and feeding up again to gain strength and stature. Young fingerlings spawned in early May showing in shoals getting chased by fish. Feed patterns getting and keeping the hungry fish in your swim, feed more and often now the water temperature is up, and with larger baits you catch larger fish. Waggler or pole close by reeds at about 3ft or go off the 2nd shelf at 6ft deep, keep a swim fed at 6 meters out if fishing close in, pole or feeder to the back bank again close in all producing well. Keep 2 /3 swims fed to keep the fish feeding in at least one swim, then if swim dries up switch to your second or third swim and feed the first. Just keeping a constant rotation as each swim dies off .

Weekly report for 20 April 2008
General A week of Ground frosts, rain, wind swinging to Northerly and North Easterly, to Easterly not wind directions for productive angling! But the weather is forecast to change at last in the week ahead !! Water temperatures have varied up and down again, but daylight longer hours are getting fish to start feeding as spawning is due to start so they need to get weigh on and fit for spawning. Catches have been methodical with a good tench of 8lb a male and large bags of golden tench, carp have been very prevalent on a good selection of baits, some extremely good Rudd, Roach, Ide and Orfe being caught to around 2lb, Bream to 7lb and Skimmers in large numbers, no Crucians, or Perch reported caught this week. Feed angel pellets or maggots, or chop caster or maggots mixed with groundbait or pellet, hook baits that are working are pellet, hair rigged angel pellets both RS 4.5 , 6 & 10mm, sweetcorn, worm, caster, however maggot being the best with water temp drop. Methods – tip and maggot feeder doing the job, good days with little wind pole excels.
Bowes Lake
With the water temp drop and wind changing direction to N & NE it has been critical to choose your peg wisely to get good catches, some catch rates of 60 plus carp in half day sessions have been possible,.

Fisheries Accreditations
We are exceptionally Proud to announce we were awarded the top accreditation a fishery can get of a GOLD award.
The Stillwater Fisheries Accreditation
Scheme
CRITERIA: The criteria for meeting the accreditation standard are based on eight
assessment areas, focusing on different aspects of the fishery. These are habitat,
nutrition, stocking, water quality, fish health, predation stress, competition angling and
exploitation rates.
Each of these aspects is carefully assessed and an action is agreed with the fishery to
either improve or maintain standards.
Physical Habitat: The habitat of stillwaters should be as natural and diverse as
possible and include: submerged water plants; emergent and marginal vegetation;
overhanging trees and bushes; wood in margins and sunk in deep water (out of fishing
range) for added cover; deep water (>2m) to provide sanctuary for temperature
extremes; shallow water for spawning and as fry habitat.
Nutrition: Plant presence in the margins, bait and fish diet, over/under feeding of the
fish are all assessed.
Stocking: The assessment encompasses species suitability to the habitat, the
stocking policy of the fishery and compliance with legislation and bio-security.
Water Quality: Water quality criteria to be considered include dissolved oxygen
content, ammonia concentrations and aeration techniques, monitoring and record
keeping.
Fish Health: This section covers bio-security measures, species suitability, stock
introduction and water quality monitoring.
Predation Stress: The fishery must provide adequate cover and refuge for fish from
avian, mammalian and other fish predators.
Competition Angling: It will be necessary to have a competition policy in place, if
appropriate, covering the equipment in use and other fish-related welfare matters.
Exploitation Rates: The fishery owner or manager must be able to make good
estimates of exploitation rates based on records of angler visits, stock density and
average catches. This will help in assessing standards based on good record keeping.
Securing fish welfare by raising fishery standards
Weekly report for 16 March 2008
Some excellent catches considering weather conditions demonstrating some excellent angling skills, fish moving according to wind conditions and sheltering in calmer waters behind islands, around & below features to keep in warmer thermals Water temperatures have held well this week in the 6 deg range, however very low barometer pressure and gales with high gusts up to 65mph making fishing very, very difficult, with presentation out the question. Winds then turning to come from North and North East making fish feed the least and going forth,. Choose your pegs Daily according to weather, winds and barometer pressure there is a need to feed several swims to catch well. Fish feeding later on in the day on bright days through Water colouring. Maggot, corn, pellet, caster, worm working on hook, maggot feeders, and angel pellets as feed working in small quantities.
Bowes Lake
Choice of peg and method of fishing has been critical this week, as fish are moving around although they are very tight to margins both on the bankside or islands, normally around 6 ft deep and at end of second marginal shelf about 4 ft out.
