muftyboy Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 So looking at the last few posts we're all completely nuts I'm on the syndi this weekend. Hope it's defrosted by then, currently solid! We've had a little bit of a thaw today.It's the first time in days the grass in my garden hasn't been frozen solid all day. Mind you we are supposed to get freezing fog tonight so could go messed up by tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonny Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Was turning back to liquid until today; with savage temps outside everything in the Nene Valley is solid again. Temps on the up tomoz and rain at the weekend. Just a question of whether it'll melt in time for me to get some angling in.... muftyboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildalton1982 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Doing a 24hr social at iden wood speci lake. 11 guys on a lake that 2.5 acres. Thoughts? Tips?? Sent from my LG-H955 using Tapatalk David_Ridgers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smufter Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Had to cancel my planned trip on Wednesday as the lake still had a lid on it. Absolutely desperate to get out and give my new rods a bash. Have booked up a double swim for next Friday as my daughter wants to come along and visit the lake for the 1st time. Fingers crossed the weather gets a little "milder" in time. David_Ridgers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillfactor Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Two on the bank so far nothing big though. Priming the spots yesterday seems to have worked again, with the two bites coming pretty quick after the first casts of the day . spr1985, Ddgx and muftyboy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jh92 Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Couldn't get out this weekend but hopefully gonna do 2 day sessions on the canal next weekend. Its 6 miles of water and pretty much no features along the banks. No over hanging trees or anything, just each bank lined with reeds all the way along, so don't really know where to start. There's a lock at each end, so maybe try one of them? I don't really know lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spr1985 Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 From previous readings, look for slack water areas, moored up boats and bridges good luck with the hunt [emoji476] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ddgx Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Canals/rivers near me are a pain to fish because the very best areas are all "no fishing". Angry face. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk jh92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonny Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 it will be playing second fiddle to suffix Synergy though , unless it really does cast well . It'll not outcast the Synergy mate, while it casts ok (miles better than any other snag line) it is still a snag line. chillfactor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muftyboy Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Going tomorrow eve after work. Finally got some proper low pressure and some rain. As the lake in question is actually a drain it normally fishes better just after of during rain. chillfactor and yonny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginger9997 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 On the bank now, full of cold. Got here at 3:30 first time I have put my rods out where I can see where they land. Just managed a 6,10lb tench my first fish from this lake so I'm chuffed. Had an occurance on my other rod where the bobbin went right up, then bobbed a bit, I hit it without looking at the tip or anything as I was still full of adrenaline from the last run! Fools mistake. spr1985 and jh92 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
