Bonanza time again for big Draycote rainbows; ANGLING: SPOTLIGHT ON TROUT.THE time clock has kicked in on Draycote Water's biggest rainbows - bringing some superb September sport to trout anglers who know how to get the best out of the back-end of the season.

More than a dozen rainbows over the 6lb mark were recorded, with another over 7lb and one topping 8lb. A spokesman at the fishery lodge said: "September is always a signal for the bigger fish to start feeding hard and many of our regulars recognise this. They rate the month as the best of the year and fish in the hope and expectation of catching bigger fish. "Having said that, it's usually our most experienced anglers who come up with the goods. They really know what they are doing when it comes to seeking out Draycote's best fishing." Bob Wallinger is no stranger to multi-catch big-fish hauls from the Rugby venue and has been putting together spectacular limits for years. But the Sharnford, Leicestershire specialist will chalk up 2000 as a terrific campaign after setting a record 33lb 9oz weight for an eight- fish maximum last week. It's the third time this season the big-fish expert has broken his own record at the venue. All came to lures, fished deep off Draycote Dam. George Moore George Moore may refer to:
