Derwent Water Trout Fishing

Catch Returns For Derwent

Best flies	Dawson’s Olive, Black Fritz, Cat’s Whisker.
Best areas	Pow Hill, Oak Tree for bait anglers. Next to the spillway for fly anglers.

The best week of the season so far with the rod average well over 3 fish per angler. Paul Dunn had the fish and the catch of the week with a great 9 pounder in a 27lb total catch. Paul also returned around a dozen fish on the fly, with Lures doing the damage on The Meadow. On the fly the Black Fritz continues to be the most popular fly but buzzers are also taking fish at a depth of around 3 feet.

Next to the overflow is currently the hot spot on the fly. Bait anglers are also having great sport with Pow Hill next to the Oak Tree still the best spot. Float is doing well at the moment with sinking Powerbait Eggs and worm. Watch out for the Tiger trout, which are to be stocked on Friday 25 April and we also have a big charity competition for Water Aid on Sunday 27 April with both bait and fly anglers welcome with some great prizes donated by Hardy Greys, please register by 9am.
