1 DECIDED lo spend last Saturday morning at Whalley Abbey Fishery after the large rainliows that are stocked there in abundance, some weigh­ ing up to 17Ihs. The morning was very bright but spoilt by a stiff


east breeze which did not make for ideal fishing conditions. Even so, I finished up with six nice trout, the largest just under Uhs and the others between 21b and 3Ib, of which I kept two. As the bright conditions and cast wind kept the

fish down, I was disappointed that more were not showing on the surface. I prefer lo fish natural flics on a floati.ng line, but I wanted to go where the trout were, so I fished a sunk line and a deer- hair lure just off the bottom, and this did the business. Since .lim Gilder took over the fishery in 1983, he


has done a tremendous amount of work to make it one of the lop venues in the area. He has created paths and casting platforms, with a seat for everyone, and its also nice lo see waste bins strate­ gically placed round the fishery. The hankside vegetation is untouched, fin*ming a


very impressive, with 14.5 rods taking 71)5 fish, an average of 5.1 fish per rod, with .Mr .Moon taking a nine pounder. Other good fish of (Uhs and many of 311) and 4lh were taken as well as a beautiful 1.511) brownie. Different lures took the majority Of fish, but the viva fiy proved a good catcher. .As I was leaving, the weekend consignment of


21)0 fish up to 811) were l)eing delivered, the majority between l.alhs and 311)s, hut 1(1 fish were between 5ll)s and 8ll)s. Whalley .Abbey is well worth a visit and the ideal


place for beginners lo start learning. The staff are always willing lo give advice and help if and when asked. ,Iim (Jilder has created a fir.sl-class fishery for the anglers of the area lo enjoy hours of good fishing. Here vou will cerlainlv have light lines. G.AME FISHER
