Superb sport has been had from Monday to Sunday here at Seighford, with anglers catching plenty of fish on all different methods. Small flies have been the way forward this week, with Buzzers and PTN's being the most favoured. Some fantastic hatches of flies have come off both lakes this week, making the dry fly fishing incredible.
Tony Whalley had his best ever days fishing at Seighford this week landing 29 fish off the Railway Pool, The Stoke based angler took all his fish on Dries and small skinny Buzzers using a floating line. He took 90% of his fish within 15 yards of the bank. Great angling mate. Well done!
Chris Ector had an enjoyable Sunday morning session. Arriving early Chris set up a team of Wet flies and headed straight for the back lake. He was back at the lodge in just over an hour after landing 11 fish all on his tradition flies. Best fish was around the 8lb mark.
Don't forget this time of year through till Autum we do evening tickets. For just £15 you can fish from 4pm until dusk on a one fish ticket. Ideal if you are local and fancy a few hours sport after the stresses of work.
Hope to see you all soon. Tight Lines

Finally with the better weather the coarse fish have started to show and anglers have started to turn up and catch. The Horseshoe has been producing fish all over the lake with anglers catching carp and silver fish close in to the banks and in open water. Maggots, corn, pellet and bread have fished the best on the pole while anglers who fish the feeder have been catching on dead red maggot. A fine carp of 19lb7oz was landed on the Maze this week by Barry Wilcox from Cannock. Barry had a great day catching Carp, Bream and loads of silver fish fishing on the feeder using corn on peg 38.

Finally with a bit of warmer weather here the fish have started to feed and anglers have been catching plenty of fish from small roach to large carp. Fishing has been slow in the mornings with the cooler nights still here but later in the day fish have really started to feed well.
Skimmers and roach have been coming out all the time on maggots while th bigger fish carp and the tench have been coming out on corn and pellet. Pegs 16- 21 have been fishing well on the pole at around 8-10 meters out while on the other side pegs 7-2 have been hot on the feeder fished to the island.
If the weather stays warm and the nights pick up all the fish will really be feeding hard so will be well worth a go. Clubs or individuals can book the Maze or the small Horseshoe for matches any time this year just call the lodge for prices and information on 01785 282967.

Phil Dixon week ending 14th April Well what a week we have had, fish, fish and more fish. With the stocking going into both lakes on Wednesday fish were coming out almost immediately. The Railway Pool really came in to its own this week, with plenty of fish being caught out of it every day. There was a range of methods and flies that have worked this week have been very diverse. Some days slow sinking lines have been the key where as others floating lines and site indicators are the way forward.
Top rod this week was regular angler Jock who landed 11 fish on Sunday morning in just 3 hours. He took all these fish using a floating line and varied coloured Leeches. His fishing partner Kev Faulkner who landed last weekend’s best fish also managed to land 6 fish on the same method.
I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who took part in Saturdays Greys Bank Fishing Heat. We had an excellent turnout of 22 Anglers, with only 2 of them blanking. The weather conditions on the day were certainly against us, with bright sunshine all day and not a breath of wind. Young Mark Harrison was top rod on the day, taking 9 fish throughout the day. Closely followed by Tim Gilchrist who landed 8 fish. And in 3rdplace was Terry Phillips who banked 6 fish off 5 different pegs.
With this warmer weather that is forecast for this week, we are hoping to see a lot more fly life hatching off the lakes and hopefully some steady evening rises. Fresh fish will be stocked into both trout lakes later this week. Hope to see you down here soon.

Phil Dixon Week ending 17th March Fishing continues to be first Class down at Seighford lakes again this week, Nearly every angler who has turned up has landed at least one trout or more and some anglers have caught up to 14 fish into double figures. 6 double figure Rainbows have come out of both Trout lakes this week with 13lb 4oz being the best. Lures, Damsels, Nymphs and buzzers have been taking the fish this week from both lakes at variours depths., the key has been to keep on the move. We held the second Trout match of the year this weekend which was well supported with 17 anglers fishing in the World Bank Masters. A cold start to the morning didn't put the fish off with Trevor Bailey from Derby taking 5 fish off his first peg within the 30 minute mark, Trevor then struggled all day for another 1 fish but this great start would see him into the next round. Andy Taylor from Stafford won the match with 9 fish, Andy fished a floating with small Nymphs on every peg to catch all of his fish. Andy cacught well over both lakes and only blanked on 2 pegs which was a cracking result. A list of the top 4 from the match is listed below. 1st Place Andy Taylor 9 Fish 2nd Place Trevor Bailey 6 Fish 3rd Geoff Hadley 6 Fish 4th Andy Gudger 4fish 54 fish were caught in the match giving a great rod average of 2.9. The next trout match will be on the 6th April so get in touch and book in. Pic:-Andy Taylor from Stafford recieving his prizes for winning the trout match this weekend. Kind regards
Phil Dixon TROUT FISHING. Another superb weeks fishing has been had by all down at Seighford lakes with anglers catching well into double figures and 6 double figure Rainbows have been out up to 14lb. The fishing is really on fire at the moment with anglers catching on a huge range of patterns and techniques, Lures have fished the best this week with Green/white, Green/Black and Black being the killer patterns with the weather being so cold the fish have slowed up on the buzzers and nymph's with not much hatching. Tony Sunderland showed the way with 16 fish on Sunday up to 8lb, Tony had all of his fish off the Swan Neck pool fishing a Green/White fritz under a strike indicator. Tony fished all around the lake catching fish everywhere he went. Plenty of anglers have caught well into double figures like Trevor Bailey catching 11 and also having a fish of 11lb also Dave Walker had a fantastic day taking 13 fish up to 12lb all on his own tied Black/Green lure top angling lads. The first trout match of the year is on this coming Saturday 16th, 9.30am to 4ish so both trout pools will be closed unless you fancy having ago as its open to anyone so why not? Fishing should remain great this coming week with both lakes full of hard fighting silver rainbows, lets just hope the weather is on our side for a change. COARSE FISHING. Coarse anglers are slowly coming out and the fish are starting to feed, A small match was held on the Horseshoe pool this weekend with every angler weighing in over 9lb it fished quite well even with a freezing cold easterly wind. Richard Bye fromCannock won the small match weighing in 25lb 4oz which was made up of Carp, Bream, Roach and perch Graham Ward was 2nd with 17lb 8oz both anglers caught the fish on 4mm Pellet. Hopefully if the weather warms up the fishing and fish will get alotbetter and anglers will really start catching, If you want to book the small 12 peg pool for a match or the large 50 peg Maze then get in touch with us.

Seighford Lakes Finally some decent weather has been upon us this week, the temperatures are still dropping cold at night but the days are warming up. We have seen some great hatches of Buzzers later on in the day, it won’t be much longer before the fish are rising throughout the day. Small nymphs and buzzers have produced majority of the fish this week, with both lakes fishing very well.
Simon Jones from Stoke had the best day this week, landing 11 Rainbows on a variety of different coloured Buzzers. Simon took fish on both lakes using a floating line with a long leader. Best fish of his bag was estimated at around 7lb.
Luke Stanley from Stafford had his best days fishing this week. New to the sport Luke caught 8 fish all on a Black Fritz on a floating line. He caught consistent all day finding that when he kept on the move he caught better, a few casts off each peg proved a great tactic. Best fish of the week fell to Andy Griffiths from Wolverhampton who also had his best ever days fishing at Seighford. After setting up on the car park Andy settled for the first peg u come to on the Swan neck Pool directly in front of the lodge, after just 15 minutes he was into his first fish. After a 10 minute fight he landed his personal best Rainbow Trout of 9lb 12oz which was weighed on fishery scales and happily returned.
Looking into next week, a fresh stocking of Trout is going into both lakes. The new stock will include Blues and Rainbows well into double figures, which will keep the sport consistently great. The water is clearing every week, which again will help the fish switch on to the natural fly life and feed freely off the surface. Don’t forget the gates are now open from 7am until dusk.
Tight line and see you all soon. Kind regards
Phil Dixon Another fantastic weeks fishing has been had by all at Seighford lakes again with plenty of fish coming out to various methods and over both lakes. Floating line or sink tips have been taking the most fish this week with lures or larger Nymphs working well, The water is getting clearer every day so the smaller flies will soon be on the trouts minds with good hatches of small buzzers coming off over the weekend.
Both lakes had a good fresh stock of fish this week which always helps the fishing because i believe that the new fish are very willing to take and also they will liven up the older fish. Tony Sunderland showed the way on the weekend landing 13 Rainbows up to 8lb all on a Green/ White fritz 2ft under the indicator, Tony caught all over the swan neck pool including the new spot opened up in the Bay behind the Island. Plenty of the larger fish have been out this week but no one quite managed a double with the best weighing 9lb 10ozs which was taken by Jim Taylor from Bridge-north. Jim tempted the fish off the Railway pool on a Yellow egg fly.
Hopefully the weather will stay nice like the weekend the lake will clear buzzers will hatch and the fish will start feeding near the surface. Don't forget about the World Small Water Championships which are being held here on the 16th March over both trout lakes and there are still a few places left, every angler will receive a fly line just for entering ring the lodge for more details 01785 282967.
Hopefully see you down here soon. Tight Lines

Phil Dixon Even with the poor weather still hanging over us this week the anglers who braved the wind, hail,snow and rain caught fish and some cracking fish. Most of the anglers who did brave the conditions this week caught well with plenty of trout coming out with Tony Sunderland having a great day taking 8 rainbows up to 7lb. Best methods have been a straight floater fished deep and slow or a sink tip with a shorter leader fished along the bottom, There have been the odd fish starting to rise when the wind has laid off which is always great to see. Lures have been the way forward this week with Green/White, Orange, Black/Green fritz lures all taking a lot of fish.Another 2 doubles were out this week with Matt Pritchard from Wolverhampton taking the best fish a fine rainbow of 12lb 4ozs. Matt took the fish off the swan neck pool on a floating line with a small Black Buzzer, This rainbow was the biggest Matt has ever caught so well done and top angling.Another stocking will be going into both lakes this week which again will boost the fishing and make sport even better than it has been. Hopefully a break in the weather will come soon and we can move up in the water and start fishing Nymphs and Dries for these quality trout.

Seighford Trout fishing report.
Well another great week of fishing despite the awful weather. Anglers have braved some very high winds, Snow and ice this week but have all caught plenty of fish which they have all deserved. Regular angler Tony from Stoke had a great day catching 6 fish including a fully finned fine double weighing 12lb 8ozs. Tony caught the big fish second cast on a Yellow Dancer fished slow on a sink tip line off the railway pool. Other anglers have been catching some fine fish up to 9lb and some cracking Blue trout to 5lb. Slow and deep with lure have been the way to catch fish this week with the cold weather the trout seem to be hugging the bottom. White/Green, Black/Green, Humungus and Wet flies have been the most successful for fisherman fished slow. Keep on the move and try both lakes is also the key to catching. Hopefully we will get some settled weather and the trout will start to look up for food or even for them dries. Seighford is by far the best dry fly small water around with it's gin clear water and good weed growth the fly life is unbelievable when the weather warms up. Tight lines and see you all soon.

 Another fantastic weeks trout fishing was had by every single angler that ventured out of the house in up and down conditions. Both lakes have been on fire again with anglers catching lots of fish on a variety of different methods from small nymphs to large bright lures.
Regular angler Luke Stanley has had a great week again landing 18 fish in 2 trips over both lakes, Luke caught his fish on a sink tip and a floating line as the fish moved up and down in the water. Luke caught his first ever double figure trout a fine rainbow weighing 10lb 6Oz's, the fish was taken on a Green/White lure on the Swan Neck Pool. Its been another great week for double figure fish with Ian Buckley taking the best fish of the year so far weighing 16lb 4Oz's. Ian from Crewe caught the rainbow on the Railway Pool down deep on a Orange lure. Ian finished the day with 9 other fish to 6lb.
Coppenhall Fly Fishers held there first trout match of the year this weekend and even with the bitterly cold east wind every angler caught fish, but not as well as Ron Ayres. Ron ended up winning the match with a great weight of 17lb 10Oz's for 3 fish. Ron took his fish off the Railway Pool on a egg fly pinned to the bottom, Ron ended up taking 12 fish through the day top angling mate.
Hopefully the ice will stay off this week and the fishing will remain top class so get out and give it a go.

Landing 10 Rainbows up to 7lb on a variety of lures using a floating line. He caught all his fish off the Swan Neck Pool two pegs up from the lodge.

He banked a total of 8 fish to 8lb and lost countless fish. He was fishing behind the island again using various lures. In the next peg to him, Luke Stanley from Stafford a new comer to fly fishing also had his best days Trout fishing.

Fishing has been superb this week with so many quality fish coming out. Nymphes have been the way forward this week with Nick Dunn from Holmes Chapel showing the way taking 19 fish on a varity of Diawl Bachs and Crunchers. Nick fished a floating line with a 12ft leader static to tempt the fish.
Anglers have started to catch fish on dries even this early in the year with small CDC'S and Kilkhammers being the best patterns. When fishing with the smaller flies use lighter Fluro to give them more movement and the results will be alot better for you.
Fish are still coming out on lures with Matt Wall taking 10 fish off the Swan Neck pool using a slow sinking line and pulling the large Apps Bloodworm. Damsels and white/green fritzes will also catch you fish.
A stocking will be going into both lakes again this week to keep the fishing as good as its been. Remember both trout lakes will be closed this Saturday the 10th March for the heat of Iain Barrs new competion, there are still 2 places left so if your are intrested contact the lodge 01785 282967, or just turn up on the morning of the match.

I opened the lakes in April 2009, and since then been working on the Maze pool which is due to open in April 2012. The Maze will be open for club or individual matches. Over the past 2 years the Maze has been stocked with a variety of fish, ranging from Carp, Silver Fish, and even small Gudgeon, and lots of them. The Maze has 50 wooden plate forms, well spaced out to give every angler plenty of room to fish to various features. I have attached a poster and would be very grateful if you could help me spread the word to your club & other contacts? Please visit www.seighfordlakes.com should you wish to read more about the other 4 lakes. Your time and help is greatly appreciated.
