Highlights from the week:

It has been a busier week across the waters with some sunnier periods, though for those who ventured out in the cold and hail there were also some rewarding sessions to be had. Really good to hear the comments of how much anglers have enjoyed themselves, and the great catches this week are the icing on the cake.

• Simon W had 13 browns at Colliford
• Some lovely Blues seen this week
• Using a range of tactics really paying off

Please keep the catch reports coming in, we really do appreciate the depth of information they offer and it’s a great help to us. Thanks also for the great photos and videos we’ve received so far.

A slightly busier week with anglers which has been nice to see - keep the detailed reports coming in as it is both useful and very interesting to build a picture of the methods used. Highlights of this week include Matt B's 8 lovely brownies whilst float tubing and Sharif A also had a great session, rewarded with another great brown. As things start to warm up we look forward to the hatches becoming a little more consistent.
