Here is this weeks news, information and catch report round up for the week ending 11th January 2026.
With temperatures plunging, many of our waters have spent the week locked under ice. Storm Goretti then added to the challenge, bringing heavy rainfall and strong winds through the latter part of the week. Unsurprisingly, opportunities to get out on the bank have been few, and most members sensibly chose to stay warm at home. As a result, our catch reports are understandably sparse this week.
Our bailiffs have continued to keep members informed about conditions across the venues. With forecasts suggesting a slight rise in temperatures over the coming week, we’re hopeful that the ice will clear and our waters will be fully fishable again soon.
As of Saturday 10th January the latest reports from our venues are as follows.
Beckerings: 90% frozen but thawing out with pegs 3 -16 fishable up to 2 rod lengths out.
South Lagoon: About 70% of the lagoon is now fishable just the shallower end still frozen.
North House Lake:Still fully frozen over.
If you are out and about and are passing any of our venues, a quick photo and/or message via our social media pages showing current conditions is always appreciated and will be used to keep other members up to date with current venue and water conditions.
