Derwent Resevoir.

Well lads i was bored stupid yesterday so today thought i,d give the resevoir a look.
Got there about 11:30 am. Tried at Powhill. Ledgered on the bottom with worm and power bait. Nowt doing for an hour. One of the lads near me had gone for a walk around the point with his spinning gear. He came back and said there was loads of small brown trout chasing the fry. Gear packed up and off i went.
I set up the fly rod and put a black fly on and a Dawsons lure. Actually hit a nice fish but the trace snapped and it was off.Tried spinning but no good.
Ended up back at Pow Hill and ten minutes before i was going home i caught a nice Rainbow ledgering with power bait. Ten minutes later another both about pound and half each. Also caught a small brownie.
I lost another couple but i enjoyed my day.
The Hollandise sauce is ready for the fish for our tea on Wed.

Hey lads just remembered something. Season extended through till end of November. Fishing stops at 3;30pm. There is NO RETURN of any fish.
Do they want the resevoir empty over the winter period.
