The fishing improved this week at Hawkridge; mainly due to the inclement weather but also restocking the reservoir with more quality rainbows for Exmoor. The lay-by is the hot spot from the bank and fish are being caught from the boats in the middle. Lures are catching as many fish as nymphs at the moment with montana proving a popular choice.
