Sharpley Springs Fishing Report ending 17th Dec

How to catch at Sharpley

Welcome relief from the recent cold arrived at the end of the week when midge could again be seen dancing in still,warm spots. Pupal patterns did their stuff-provided they were black!
Otherwise the bloodworm imitations of old have continued to do their stuff-with pinkies and blood red rubber legs the pick of the bunch.
Lures in black or white took trout reliably too-occasionally an intermediate or slow sinker was required though,and a dead slow retrieve.The Doxford lake has fished the best,its greater depth and volume ensuring a greater comfort zone for the fish when temperatures elsewhere can be sub-zero.
