The Catch of the week was returned by Ross Middleton a Massive 20 lb plus Rainbow that Ross from Sunderland gentle returned. A fine specimen fish that was fully finned and despite its size gave a good fight.
Other Doubles caught this week was a 11lb 8oz rainbow that Ian Ritchardson from Langley Park released and Jim Hall from Birtley took a 10lb 20z Trout. Dave Cardwell from Darlington netted a bag of 12 fish including a 10lb 9oz Blue. Dave Renshaw from Coundon, Bishop Auckland netted 14 Trout.

Tactics
There are still plenty of rising trout at Sharpley at present and they can be tempted with hare,s ear emergers. Late mornings and afternoons have seen midge hatches at their peak and the upwind -ripple pegs have
been the best vantage points. Targeting the risers has afforded excellent sport. Dark nymphs like PTN,s and diawl bachs have taken fish both on the drift and washing-lined whilst damsel nymphs and black lures have
enticed willing chasers at other times.
Bloodworm patterns are excellent pre and post hatch.
Still a £500 tag lurking in the depth! >
