A really nice secluded lake surrounds by trees with lots of lilies. A total absence of the carp brigade with their bivvies and buzzers, just a few old boys mainly fishing the waggler. Float was lively all day on the Crucians, but never got very big. Nonetheless having not caught them before my PB was a ½ lb or so.
The method was quieter save for some big pull rounds that infuriatingly broke me twice when I struck into them. Overhand loops seemed to be the culprit – I need to change that knot. However I finally hit one fish which did me straight into the lilies and locked up. Luckily patience and allowing it to take line then going back in hard freed it and I finally slipped the net under a 2 ¼ lb (1KG) tench – the first of the year and as I can’t remember the last time I caught one, a PB! It fell to the method and hair rigged 10mm fish boilie.
Definitely want to go back specifically targeting tench and was a delightful venue and I think there is more to come given I got smashed twice. There are no bream and only two carp in the place.
