The weather has finally broken and while it isn’t warm the sharp cold snap seems to have released us from its grip. The fishing conditions have been variable with some coloured water after heavy rain but mostly fairly clear.

Bellbrook Fishing Report week ending 18th October 2013
Beautiful fishing weather and the fish are responding well. The flies working at the moment are Green Nymph, Blue Damsel and Daddy Longlegs. The fish have been taking in mid water – 4 to 6 feet from the surface – and there is still the occasional take off the top.
David Hill of Ideford fished a Rover Classic and netted a bag weighing 8 3/4lb – he favoured the Green Nymph. Toby and Robin from Taunton enjoyed a morning’s instruction and caught 3 specimens between them for 10-8 making good use of the Black Damsel fly. Mike Clayton and his fishing friend from Shaldon had a half day ticket and managed to get a couple in the net for 4-8.
Frequent visitors to the website will have noticed a revamp and that there is now a webcam overlooking Ironmill. This captures an image every 2 minutes and is designed to let regulars see how busy we are or what the conditions are like. For newcomers it is a chance to get an idea what one of the lakes looks like.
