Welcome to the new season

Time seems to have flown since our last visitors of last year , but Simon and Glen arrived safely even though the weather , once again doesn’t want to play ball, cold and wet, although a promising outlook as the week progresses.

Positive first impressions are always a good sign with both lads impressed with what met them once on the banks of this special little lake.

Simon set up in the Slip swim and Glen in the Outlet ,with baits placed in the margins, and the games begin. Although plenty of fish have been seen ,they haven’t got their heads down properly as yet.

Tuesday and Simon has had 2 doubles, both mirrors, ( obviously sneaky little monkeys that escaped the netting )from his left hand margin on simple blow back rigs consisting of a hardened bottom bait with a topper of yellow DNA candy stick.

Glen , however, has managed a pb mirror of 28lb from his left hand margin on a simple hair rigged hardened hooker.

The weather is warming up and fish moving more so hopes are high going into tuesday evening.

The rest of the week followed the same pattern with the fish playing hard to get although Glen managed an 18lb er and Simon a 27 lb specimen from the moat .

Obviously the hard fishing conditions hasn’t put the two guys off as Simon is returning later in the year and planning a trip next year, another happy customer.

In Simons words , ” i think the venue is the absolute business. Great surroundings,Great fighting fish, Great hosts – really made us feel like one of the family. What more can you ask for ?

Another week comes to an end, hopefully the fish will get on the feed for the next anglers due out soon, or maybe, just maybe, they will wait for myself and Dave in June, you never know.
