Kidderminster angler Ian Harper used a cats whisker to catch seven trout to 3lb during an evening session on the Wyre Dell.

Another caught 13 trout to 2.5lb using a damsel nymph at the same venue.

On the coarse scene, the rain has freshened the lakes, causing carp and catfish to feed well.

The biggest fish of the week was a 30lb catfish, caught on active eight boilies on the Erics.

Seven carp to 15lb fell to boilies on the Erics, while 14 carp to 15lb were taken on luncheonmeat and trout pellets at the same lake.

Spice boilies were successful on the Stuarts lake where a specimen mirror of 24lb 8oz was caught.

Mixed bags of 40lb-50lb have been reported off the Stella, where the best baits are sweetcorn and casters.
