no fish caught.

Covered a lot of water this morning, no signs of fish apart from a wild brown following my spinner. Unable to find anywhere with enough space to cast a fly as the water table appears to be unusually high for the time of the year so resorted to fishing vibrax and mepps type spinners. I only fished a short morning session and would have been interested to see if there was much of an evening rise. Regulars at the venue appear to favour fishing with popped up powerbait. An angler I met advised me that the venue gets fished hard by locals as soon as its stocked and often appears fish-less not long after. I notice there are a lot of signal crayfish present, I hope these don't end up in neighbouring water courses.
I'd be very reluctant to return with the above points and a little uneasy about leaving my car unattended for any length of time here.

No fish caught fly fishing method used

Did not catch anything again. Second time I have spent all day and didn't catch a thing. Only had one bite all day. Bait used worm and sweet corn. Quite a lot of rubbish including glass bottles on banks. I have been fishing here for years and it is the worst it has ever been. I don't know if it is over fished or not stocked enough but had a very disappointing day again.

Not worth it for fly fishing, most spots taken up with bait anglers, very limited places to fish with a fly. Few fish showing, managed 1 bite and gave up after a couple of hours.

Had 3 small rainbow trout using worm . Would have caught more but the crayfish absolutely destroyed most of my attempts.
