Hey... I'm a long time absentee and not even sure if reports are a thing than happen here.
Was out at Cardiff on Thursday... are there big ones in there? Must be. All I could find were the newly stocked bows about 5 to 6 inchers (5 of them) and three brown Trout the biggest being 14 inch. I believe the browns were just stocked for the first time this September. The 14 incher I kept and it was full of little crayfish. So if anyone is after the bigger fish I'm betting a crayfish imitation is your ticket.
Yesterday went out to Hermitage and it is still very alive!!! This is a fishery I hate to see die off every year. An unutilized close to home great little fishery. So recommend getting out there and giving it a try if you have a spare morning or evening.
I got out there around 10am and caught two bows pretty quick. Around noon got two browns as well. They seemed pretty aggressive when they come around. There might not be many in there at this point in the game, but they're all decent size and not too hard to catch!
If anyone has any Cardiff stories of larger fish I'd love to hear them. Even though it's a small lake it really has some interesting structure... hard to figure out where the big fish are cruising in a day. This was the second time I had ever fished it.
Anyways. Best of luck out there guys and Merry Christmas to all!
