Tunnel Barn Farm
DESPITE the terrible weather, weights on the pools still remain respectable.
Smaller baits are now playing a bigger part in getting good catches.
There are lots of small carp to pinkie and maggot on the Top Pool but better carp from against the island on waggler fished baits from pegs 32 and 5.
Sheltered pegs on the Bottom Pool are giving a few fish but the extra water is making fishing difficult.
Meat and maggot plus caster are working best. Try worm for perch to 3lb.
House Two is fishing well but can be affected by high winds. Maggot, pinkie and caster over chopped worm with pole or waggler tactics are proving the most fruitful.
Pegs on House One up the gully are proving best with peg 24 the in-form all-round spot.
