Hello All,

Just wondered if anyone knows wots been happening at Horton lately?
Much been out at all?
I've not been down since the beginning of October, so I'm a bit out of touch!

I'm going tomorrow morning for the weekend and I can't wait!
Good stuff!

Cheers,

Alright Jim!

Nah, blanked again! Did friday morning till yesterday afternoon, pretty cold with nothing showing.
Had a look in the log book and I think it was November the 1st when the last one was out!

Aparrently no-one has been fishing for the last 5 weekends on the trot!

I had the whole lake to myself, which was quite nice!!

Again though that was February, i think it was the 02nd or 04th. TOP capture for that time of year on here.
Keith James had one of his 30lb commons last January when there was a mild spell, other than that its not worth it.
Stay in the warm

Starrys capture of the Parrot was amazing, I was actually in the next peg, but although it was early February, the weather really was exeptionally mild. We were all wearing teashirts that morning. Craig Welch had had 4 stockies from 1 peg up, and lost a lump after Starrys capture. The odd fish will always get caught through the winter on Horton, but do not kid yourself its going to be easy, its not, and a lot of good anglers have tried.

The problem is I think the water is so deep, and the fish sit mid water for a lot of it, making bait presentation avery difficult and a bit of a lottery.

A remember a few years ago an eco sounder was run accross the lake to try and locate the fish for sure, but this still did not help.

I am not saying dont give it a go, I did, and the atmosphere and social side were brilliant. The rewards are there, but you have to tackle it with a certain frame of mind.
