Just had a couple of days on Stanwicks Swan pool, fancied a bit of pleasure angling so hopped on there, had three commons around the 12- 15 lb mark and a very nice mirror that i would call a leather carp, nice yellowing to the belly and not a full scale on it, just a few scale like marks near the tale.
Had a good look around the place while i was there some nice proper waters will be going back armed with a barrow that will get all my kit around in one go.
