BLYTON PONDS: Pond D is best for barbel to luncheon meat and sweetcorn.
A and B ponds are good for carp from 15lb to 20lb on floating bread later in the day. 
Pond C is good for a well-mixed net of good fish to strawberry, coconut or any sweet-flavoured bait. 

 
FOURWAY FISHERY, OWSTON: Fishing well for carp and crucians as big nets of fish are being put together by anglers using sweetcorn and cheese to tempt carp to 12lb and plenty of other fish.
So far, bream to 5.25lb, crucians to 2lb 9oz, and perch to 3lb have been caught from water in good colour.
Worm, maggots, casters and pellets have all worked well.
Matches will take place on Thursday and Saturday. The latter draw will be at 2pm, with fishing taking place from 3-8pm.

HAVEN FISHERIES: Another week of varied conditions testing fishing skills, with both wet and windy conditions.
Trent and Black Walk ponds are fishing well to float in sheltered areas and hair rig and feeder methods in deeper water.
Carp to double figures at all three ponds with roach, tench, rudd, and perch taking maggot, corn, and meat.
Night session fishermen are also doing well, with carp to 18lb, mainly to hair rig boilies of various flavours and surface fished baits early and late in the calmer conditions.
Night sessions must be pre-booked on (01724) 762331.

HUNTERS LODGE, ELSHAM: Now under the new ownership of John Porter, a phone number should be available next week for bookings.
The carp lake has continued to fish really well.
Tim Cranidge, of Winterton, had 13 carp to 21lb and mirror on luncheon meat.
Darren Johnson, also of Winterton, had a mirror carp of 24.5lb on a bait he kept secret. I hope he knows that the fishery owner is entitled to know what baits he uses!
The silver fish water is producing very well to maggots, bread and sweetcorn, especially the roach.
Toilets have recently been installed, which is much appreciated by all.

KINGFISHER LODGE, HIBALDSTOW: A good week for the bigger carp as a common of 18lb was landed from the shallow water margins to halibut pellets amongst a lot of other smaller fish.
The bream have also got the urge to feed, as nets of 50lb are common to pole rigs and pellets.
The roach continue to respond to maggots and casters, and the odd chub to 4.5lb have been tempted by fish meal flavoured boilies.
NORMANBY PARK LAKE: The fish have been pernickety at times to standard rigs and offerings, but plenty of action can be obtained by using ‘punch’ luncheon meat for roach, rudd and tench. These last from 4lb to 6lb even in the changeable weather of recent days.

POLICE CLUB WATERS: Lady Pitt Farm water on the Trent has received a lot of attention, and produced a lot of fish, but the details have not been revealed yet.
Local ponds and lakes have had varied results thanks to the weather and the location, whether exposed or sheltered from the strong winds, which have made some sites very difficult to fish, especially for the pole anglers.
The Warping Drain is certainly the most consistent so far for bream and tench.
The Torne is improving as the water warms up a little, but the results are as varied as the weather.

WILLOW SPRINGS, MESSINGHAM: Another good week, with the carp feeding particularly well over by the island to pellets, maggots and worm.
The match anglers who use the up-in-the-water rigs and constant loose feeding have been bagging up with weights up to 80lb or more, as did Wayne Easter during the Conoco Match last week.
Pleasure anglers are getting best sport during the evenings when the bigger carp can be caught close in the margins or alongside the lily pads.
The New Pond is producing some
respectable rudd, which seem to be growing bigger each season.
The other species are also showing their potential as smash takes are  more common.

CLEATHAM TROUT: Floating flies such as CDC, sedges and williams favourite on floating lines worked well, especially during the evening rises in the better weather.
Strong winds and rain send the fish down to about three feet, so floating lines and sunk leaders need to be treated with line sink, at least at the lower end. 

 
THORPE VALE TROUT: Both lakes fishing well to gold ribbed hares ear in gold head form or just plain nymph form on floating lines.
Black flies, such as peacock and black, fished on a long leader and slowly retrieved are also promising for fish in decent condition.
There were some good rises on the better days when temperatures lifted a little to encourage hatches of pond olives, while some sedges are coming off in the evenings.

 
TOFT NEWTON TROUT: Weekly results: anglers caught 556 fish with a rod average of 3.89.
A changeable time of late, with varied weather including frequent wind direction changes, heavy showers, bright sun and stormy conditions.
Bank sport has been okay from the north-west corner around to the black pipe.
The shallower, and therefore more weedy, area along the boat ramp bank is holding a lot of fish, so fishing along the bank on the inside of the weed-bed is best.
Utilising the washing line style, with a small booby ‘sacrificed’ in the weed leaving a couple of nymphs or buzzers hanging, appears to be the most productive method.
Damsel nymphs, large and small hare’s ear nymphs, amber nymph, corixa and black and peacocks are all worth a go with a few fish deep down from the boats in the daytime on white or orange boobies.
There was some fantastic evening sport late on – post 9pm most nights – on dry sedge patterns, foamy shipman’s and hoppers.
Best rainbow this week was taken by John Robson. The 7lb 12oz fish took a black wet fly, similar to a Pennell.
The Toft phone is hopefully back to normal this week.
Free boat Monday is still available, but boats should be booked prior to arrival and you must mention FBM to qualify.
