He was on dinton when I was on there, a top bloke and a hell of angler. He only ever fished 1 night a week, if he was lucky. But not seen him for a couple of years so I'll try and find that one and listen to what he's been upto. 👍 yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely top man is dean and an absolute blast. I'm guessing most of the funny bits in there were toned down knowing dean. I'll definitely listen to some more, cheers for opening my eyes or ears in this case elmo 👍 elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmcee Posted May 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Well I'm no longer a member of dinton but needed to get out today for some excercise, so living only a 5 minute drive I thought I'd cycle down there. Proper weather for spotting a few and spot a few I did. I wish my phone had a polarized lens as it would show this fish much better. The picture doesn't do it justice but it is in fact " the saddleback linear" in black swan lake. I saw a long fish under an overhanging tree so took a closer look. I could clearly see the tell tale dip in the dorsal fin and its obvious length and size and you can just make out some linear scales . Not sure what weight it was on its last capture but it's an upper 40 if not 50. Also spotted a few more around black swan. A few 20's and one other I'd put at mid 40lb. No pictures as the glare on the surface was wrong for a picture. Nice to see fish but now I really want to go Haha.

crusian Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Hi Emmcee I was looking on Facebook yesterday and I came across a crazy looking Mirror Carp called " Bling " from Black Swan ; have you ever come across Bling ? . Sorry if you've already mentioned Bling in this post as I haven't found time to read it all . 😃 yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy looking fish for sure. crusian and yonny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonny Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 I think the Bling fish is actually quite a young one? I know a chap that had it a year or two ago. Don't think it was around when @emmcee fished it, if it was it would've been a little nipper? crusian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
