Ten Mile Bank
The last seven days has seen a lot of anglers on the banks at Ten Mile, earlier in the week catches were very common with some mixed bags reported, tench to 5lb, bream to 4 1/2 lb skimmers to 2lb, roach,perch and the odd small jack has been reported in catches this week. Railway Bridge- Modney Bridge has seen the bulk of the anglers , Tip anglers reaping the rewards during the early part of the week, where as the pole anglers started to gain some ground during the later part of the week including the weekend, roach were showing well on the pole line with the odd decent perch and a few tench have also been reported, hemp fed over ground bait, maggot and caster all used to entice the roach ,Skimmers and bream were showing well in earlier sessions when adding caster and maggot to the initial feed mix, presenting either a worm topped with caster or red /bronze maggot topped also with a caster on the hook for the better results. Small jacks have also been quite active during a busy week as the roach anglers have been bringing in their fish the jacks have been following them in waiting for an easy take.
Modney- Danby a few anglers down this end of TMB, roach have been the more dominant feeders at this end , with catches to 8lb reported. whip and pole finding the fish at a range of 11-15 meters.
Middle Level, sadly no reports have been received during the last seven days but a few anglers were around during the weekend at Neepes, a few fish showing but no significant weights recorded.
Little Ouse,  all though the river is gin clear,the fish are starting to show more frequently early pegs towards the bridge are producing more fish but the better fish have been reported in the higher end of the pegs. roach,dace, bleak,and rudd  have all featured in nets caught, whip,stick float and pole all working well.
Tottenhill, still good sport to be had all though the water level s are causing concern, bream have been showing well on the tip and the pole ,pellet and corn  have been the better baits to try, carp have also been feeding well throughout the centre of the lake, small method feeders have been more successful this week, 6-8mm banded pellet, or a single grain of corn or maize has been most rewarding.
Shepherds Port, all though work has been carried out on shepherds lake the fishing has been encouraging, plenty of silver fish showing with roach,rudd and small skimmers
all showing when presenting a single maggot or pinkie on the hook, loose feed has been more rewarding than fish over a ground bait.  Bear lake has started to slow off with bites becoming slower and more difficult to recognise as the fish become more picky of the baits.
Match Dates, Mildenhall have 10 pegs booked on the Little Ouse  on Sunday 23rd October. Norfolk Police have a match on TMB on Thursday 27Th October.
Lynn Junior match squad are back in action on Sunday in the 1st round of the east coast winter league at Lincoln on the Fossdyke canal.
