Sunday Blues

 With all the rivers being in flood where I live I decided on a half day session at Wych Elm trout fishery near Milnethorpe I passed over the river Bela on the way to wych and could see it had burst its banks.

On pulling into the car park I could  see 4 other anglers on the bank so there I knew that I would have plenty of space to try and find the fish.I set up with a team of 3 buzzers and fished them round on the wind and switching between them and a olive damsel nymph I caught a number of fish mainly blues but a sprinkling of rainbows as well.

I have fished Wych Elm quite a few times over the years and what a little gem! Ken holds his own fish on site with Rainbows, Blues and Browns stocked. A small fishery with casting platforms spread around the fishery,

weekdays are the best with smaller numbers of  people fishing as opposed to weekends, which tend to be busy.There is a Caravan on site offering brew making facilities and a place to get out of the rain,and with a 5 hour sporting ticket only costing £8 its real value for money especially if you are desperate as me to wet a line. (see below for link to the fishery)
