Another early start saw me arrive at the fishery around 6:15. There was no one in the car park so I could afford to take a leisurely stroll around the lake whilst I made my swim selection.
After a bit of a think I chose peg 15 which is about midway on the back stretch of the lake.
As you can see from the photo above I intended to spend the day fishing down the margin.
As my primary target was the non carp species I decided to set up the float rod first and then if the fishing was slow I would use the feeder rod as well.
I started at 7:15 with corn as the hook bait and was rewarded with a roach and tench in the first hour. At least the fish were feeding today.
Two hours later, and back on the corn after a fruitless change to meat, I'd added another 4 fish to the virtual net, 1 roach, 2 crucians and a bream. The total for the day was now six.
I tried meat again for the next hour and was rewarded with a tench and another crucian.
I was back on the corn for the lunchtime session and managed to get another of the lake's crucian carp, not massive but nice looking.
At 13:15 the feeder rod, which I'd set up about 10 o'clock, sprang into life and produced a nice tench.
I had also decided at that point in the session to switch to pellets.
By 14:30 the pellets had attracted one roach and a tench. The feeder rod had also chipped in with a tench.
The next hour was very slow, only one roach made the net.
My last fish of the day turned up at 17:20 and was predictably a tench with a liking for meat.
So that was it for the day, 15 fish split between four species. Not really a sensational day.
