Me and 2 others tonight. Heaven.

Glad to be out.

 

Loads of BS at work & family,  so feels a real tonic to be here

Ahhh the peacefulness of being alone on a lake.

@dayid you could say my swim is slightly different to yours

Unexpected 48. Mrs said as long as oi take my 11 year old. He's loving spombing out the bait. Happy days

In Britain, apparently the sun is a very rare sight

Had a couple of nights on the res.

No fish, again. 🥺

Always nice to get out, even when the bivvy decided it was going to leave without me, a few times in the wind this morning😳

Two things spring to mind when I gaze at the lovely pics…one if I had a bite il be out of breath by the time I managed to get to the rods and two that is a proper bait boat !   😉

Yeah, bivvies a lot further back the normal, as it's being filled up. I had to bring the rods back about 30 ft in 48 hrs. It's very, very muddy.

I can get all my kit in that boat for the 15 minute journey to the swim. 

This weekend was the toughest yet

Sounds like an adventure every trip…. I envy you  👍

Been 4 months since I've been able to get onto the syndicate, but even in the wet weather I still love it here.

[kevtaylor]

4 night blank to get me into the swing of things, lots to learn and a new playing field as the water is up 4ft on last year's drought level.

Great trip loved it - spring is in the air, the birds are at it, frogs in the margins being hunted by pike and masses of bugs crawling out the lake especially during rain - so many caddis or whatever they were that it freaked me out - all coming under my door by the dozen.

Can't wait to get back down asap.

Well , Kev , I have just quoted your post to my Wife , but I think she already understands why I don't go fishing / have to catch a fish to enjoy myself .

lol - I might blank all year on this place but I'm going for it, only takes one bite.

[kevtaylor]

Back down for another 3-4 nights potentially, picked back of the wind based on what I saw last trip and after setting up I saw several shows to my surprise, showing me where to put the rods, fingers crossed might get lucky - think I've dropped right on them unless they're passing through, some chunks to - fingers crossed 🤞

Lovely looking lake that Kev, and really nice choice of spot. The weather conditions feel ripe for some fish, let us know how you go mate.

[ouchthathurt]

Best of luck Kev

Same swim, 2 weeks later.

I've been putting bait in when I leave, and although I had a walk around didn't see anything to make me want to go anywhere else.

Last week I did have 2 tench over the bait, biggest an estimated 5lb
