Saturday 29th March

10 am  Bright and sunny with a light SW wind.

Friday 28th March

12.40 - Rainy and windy, but a REAL fisherman wouldn't be looking for the tv times now, he'd be packing his rod into the car and setting out for a challenging day's fishing. Dresscode - Hats and gloves are optional, but worthwhile. See you soon then eh?

on peg 3.

Sunday 23rd March (Easter Sunday)
HAPPY EASTER!   Hope the Easter Bunny got through all the snow to deliver your eggs this morning. Up here at Raygill we have about 4 inches of snow but the sky is blue and the sun is shining now.

A misty morning. 6.5 degrees and dry and overcast but with only a light breeze.

Friday 29th February

Its wet and windy here today. A chap has just landed a 22lb pike on the Delf Lake. He is so excited! Pics to follow.

Thursday 28th February

9 am  5.2 degrees and a slight NW breeze. The Quarry is fishing  well just now on big sedges and muddlers (we have sold out of them)

Richard Broadley (who has peviously caught a 20lb trout) landed another huge fish but he had no scales with him. He estimated it also to be around the 20lb mark. He will be sending photos so that we can all  guess the weight!

Sunday 24th February

It is very mild out there today but still a little breezy. Large coarse has Winter league pairs match on it but still lots of room. The Delf is now closed for any method and pike fishing till December and is open for Fly again.

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DAD!   21 again and again +1. Have a lovely day!

Thursday/Friday/Saturday (21-23 February)

Sorry, our internet rooter is behaving very badly and it is so expensive to get a new one we are flogging this one to death, hence 3 reports in one as for the last 3 days we have struggled to connect to our site. So, our apologies to you weather fans out there. Normal service will hopefully be resumed shortly!
It is a nice day today (Sat) with a strong wind but it is dry and quite mild (Same as last couple of days.) Last day for Pike anglers today on the delf so we will be restocking that soon for the trout season here at Raygill. Give us a call, we always like to talk to you all out there.

Wednesday 20th February

Everything frozen again but it is breathtakingly beautiful with every twig and leaf white with frost.

The shop and cafe are open (and warm) of course.

Tuesday 19th February

All lakes frozen today

Monday 18th February

Freezing again  -4.6 degrees and all the lakes except for the end of the large coarse lake (Pegs1 to 11) are frozen at the moment- even the Quarry Lake.  The sun is shining and it is the most beautiful day so some of the ice will probably melt by midday but even as it is now, a sunny spot on the house side of the coarse lake would be the perfect antidote to a Monday morning!

Sunday 17th February

What a beautiful day. Blue sky & sunshine. Last night it was -5.5 degrees but it is up to -0.9 now. The lakes are freezing up slowly but we will squeeze you in somewhere! If you are in the sun it is lovely but in the shade its bitter cold. Come prepared for the cold and you'll be fine.

Saturday 16th February

Delf and Small Coarse Lakes frozen at the moment but the sun is shining and the frost beginning to melt on the house side of the lake

Friday 15th February

Well that's Valentines Day over for another year. Hope you all spoilt your partners. Now, pick up your rods again and get up here while its nice! It is very cold today but dry. Wrap up.

Monday 11th February

8.30 am  All white with frost and with some misty sunshine. 3.0 degrees and rising as the sun gets stronger. Spectacular red sky last night so it should be a fabulous day.

Sunday 10th February

8.30am and it is a little bit frosty up here but we can see the sun creeping over the hill and the sky is a beautiful blue so I reckon its gonna be another cracking day. 2nd match today on the large coarse lake for group 2 of the winter pairs.

Tuesday 22nd January

8.30 am  Cold this morning  2 degrees below freezing but hardly any wind and the water has more or less returned to its usual level.  By yesterday afternoon even the car park was flooded. Nearly all the fishing pegs on the coarse lake and the very end of the walkway on the  Quarry lake were under water.

Monday 21st January

8.30 am   Rain again. I've already got soaked through walking over to the fishery.  The coarse lakes are filling up and some of the pegs are under water - thank goodness for the overflow! The Quarry lake hardly ever floods so you can fly fish today if you come completely covered in Goretex.        

By the way, we sell waterproof coats, trousers, hats, boots, gloves , bags..........  Thought I'd just mention it!
