reports commencing March 2020 I will be relying on your trips to update the site. This is for your benefit, the more reports the better you’re armed to catch fish. So lets have the reports
I have fished Entwistle twice this week (Wednesday & Friday) both for only two hour sessions as I have sciatica at the moment & that is all I can manage.I have caught seven fish in total.Four fish on a intermediate slime line with a 10 ft leader attached to a lime green fritz fly with a 15 second countdown.Three fish were caught on DI5 line with a 2 ft leader attached to a jelly fritz mini booby.I have been catching consistently an average of four fish per session for the last 5 or 6 weeks on both sides but recently on left hand in the second bay. I haven’t seen anybody fishing recently & can’t understand why as this can be the best part of the year for catching fish that are in stunning condition with perfect fins.

I think you have the place to yourself Richard.I haven’t fished Entwistle since July.too many run ins with ignorant people who seem to think that Entwistle is only for them and their dogs and that they can allow their animals will toy nilly and roam all round the Reservoir,depositing their little presents where ever they see fit. I have had enough and will not be fishing on Entwistle again for the foreseeable future. I am very disappointed that it has come to this,but needs must. So the mem bers n eed to fill in this comment box ,as you have done, to keep the reports coming for ll to see. Tight Lines Bob
Fished today & had 4 to the net on a sinking line with a booby in my usual spot.Fished last week but only had one but plenty of pulls just didn’t connect
My first visit to Entwistle this year was this Tuesday because of lockdown.I couldn’t believe it but I was into a fish first cast a beautiful fully finned rainbow caught on a yellow Fritz lure on a slime line.I had nine beautiful fish in 3 hours something I was not expecting at all l .All the fish caught were in stunning condition& fought really well for their size which were anything from 1lb to 2lb & I fished near the second & third gates. My advice is to get down there & get fishing as there is a load of fish ready to be caught.
Fished today in the cold & N Westerly wind but with sun the first couple of hours & managed to catch a beautiful 3 1/2 lb overwintered trout what an absolute bonus & must be the best fish I have caught in my almost 10 years of fly fishing it was so nice to be honoured to find this trophy. I managed another two & lost two more who were being acrobatic & threw the hook before the weather took a turn for the worst. Honestly if there is somebody out there a member of this club then get there as this might be the last time before stocking that you can hook a true stunner
