AFTER a winter dogged by miserable weather and Covid restrictions, Keighley Angling club have been boosted by the latest lockdown message received from The Angling Trust.
FREEZING weather conditions have severely affected angling activities with only a hardy few braving bleak local waters.
AS TEMPERATURES plunged over the past week, some anglers changed tactics, choosing to track the course of the River Aire on foot rather than sitting to wait for a bite.
COOLING temperatures have heralded the beginning of changing activity as pike anglers turn to the river, still waters and key stretches of the canal in pursuit of prime specimens which patrol our waters in the Keighley area.
INTERMITTENT showers and falling temperatures have made fish more active over the past week with many moving off the bottom to feed.
VARYING weather conditions and slightly cooler temperatures heightened the activity of shoals of fish in many stretches of the River Aire.
THERE were mixed fortunes for anglers using stick float methods on the River Aire over the past week.
THERE have been several sightings of large shoals of bream and roach on the canal close to rhododendrons at Leaches Bridge in Riddlesden.
ALTHOUGH freezing temperatures over the past week created difficult conditions for the sport, the persistence of some of Keighley’s hardiest anglers has been richly rewarded.
