Sweethope Fishing Report September 8th 2014
A mixed week at Sweethope with some excellent overcast days and some bright days which have given both perfect and challenging conditions.
The best conditions were probably found on Thursday when 8 rods brought 36 fish to the net. The best of these was without doubt a 6lb Brown Trout, caught by Bob Todd from Brampton.
Conditions were a little more challenging on Saturday when we held a catch and release boat competition but the competition was well attended by 15 anglers. The event was won convincingly by Scott Nellins with a total of 19 fish. Second Chris Guthrie and third Richard Wood. Many thanks to all who attended and made the event a success.
