Thanks, great idea. Here is me thinking mallards are nice vegetarians.

Carp eggs and fry are food for many birds, even insects; tufties, mallards, pochards, dragonfly larvae The syndicate manager has put some of the weed with eggs into another small pond on the estate. I had a look last year, definitely some have come through as baby carp. This is one of the fish that we got eggs from:

Nah it’s not in the air i just don’t feel it

Could be custom made for Phil Collins?

Only problem is the longest those irod genesis go to is 7’7” or something silly and the handles are all wrong I looked at those yesterday it can’t be them.

Finally decided to start my river campaign only about 2yrs late! First night last night, one small carp seen cruising along the far reeds, another bigger fish breached and rolled mid channel and I got a few bream and a nice tench from under the bush to the top right of the shot. I spodded 3kg of hemp and 2kg of pellet just upstream and fished a 7 bait stringer over the top with about 50-60 boilies pulted around it. That was the middle rod sorted, the left hand was fished tight to the far reeds in 5ft of water with just a stringer attached. Right rod fished tight to the near margin on a 4ft shelf as a single, with a few broken boilies and a handful of 1mm & 2mm pellets over it. I was worried I’d over done the baiting/spodding on the middle rod, but it was the only one to have any liners or do any bites. Gonna be a challenge this venue, miles upon miles of wild water, an unknown stock of carp (a few come out along this stretch) plus limited and restricted stretches you can night fish stack the odds against me. I can only go to certain places, the carp can go anywhere they like! 🙄

First week back after spawning, new swim another blank, loads of liners as the fish moved accross the huge marginal plateau but the swans make it tricky to fish. Saturday morning they closed the bottom end of the lake as they were spawning again.

In Britain, apparently the sun is a very rare sight
