A very hard frost on the 1st of December resulted in two thirds of the Island lake being frozen. As the lake thawed the fish were very active and large numbers were caught, Frank Vaughan caught and released over 20 fish, Arnold Patefield caught 15 fishing in the afternoon using a worm fly and Marion Baldwin also caught 15 using an assortment of flies.
Friday the 18th, Paul Procter had a successful visit to Bessy Beck catching a total of 19 fish see his report at www.paulprocterflyfishing.co.uk. paul's blog.
