A really enjoyable session at the BT lake on Thursday fishing with another club member. Weather started off cold and damp but soon warmed up to around 6 degrees with clear sunny sky. The water was nice and clear and the wind was moderate to light. I fished float fished worm on a size 6 hook on the bottom and sometimes over a raised ledge near some tree roots. The fish were all in excellent condition with the best fish being the last one caught. The 3 best fish of the session were 1lb 2, 1lb 4 and 1 lb 8 ounces.
We were visited throughout the season by the friendly cock Robin, 3 Buzzards and a few noisy Pheasants too.
I plan another trip to try to capture a few of the larger specimens lurking in the water. A few Perch over 2 lbs have been recorded in the book in the past few weeks.
