KIDDERMINSTER angler Colin Wright used boilies on the Stuarts Lake to catch a 24lb catfish on the coarse lakes at Shatterford Fishery.

Another angler caught an 18lb catfish with boilies and a 16lb grass carp with pellets.

Dead baits were favoured by two men on the Erics Lake, one landing a catfish of 32lb 10oz and the other two to 25lb.

Four carp to 17lb were taken with boilies and the same angler used meat to catch a 13lb catfish.

On the trout lakes, the average bag is one or two fish with the best flies being cat's whisker and fry imitators.

A fry lure was used to catch a 6lb trout, while two to 4lb fell to a cats whisker and two to 3lb to a viva.

The Andy Capp lake favoured maggots under a float or flies such as viva, imitation pellet and goldheads.

A Kidderminster angler used a goldhead sedge to catch five trout with an average weight of 1.25lb.
