Great, cheers pal. You should come down and join us for a day.
I think i remember Terry Thomas fishing there in the late 70s on angling today. It was just the one lake then with dead trees in the middle iirc.Afternoon ladies and gents and a very happy New year.

I haven't fished it for donkeys years.
I fish for the non existent salmon on the nearby Wye nowadays, but I hear its a well run complex.
What time of year are you going mate?

Very true. Better than staying in or working but absolutely nothing remarkable happened which, I guess, is unusual in itself.

My mate is fishing for bonefish on St Alphonse Island in the Seychelles andwas due to fly off the island today. Unfortunately, the plane that was due to fly them out has undercarriage "issues".
Fortunately, the next flight out is this time next week !!

Had a few hours at a local lake today, froze my bits off. Few small roach and skimmers, and a nice Perch of about a pound and a half. Not bad for January .

Had a few hours on a small commercial on Saturday, conditions were horrible.
Had quite a few roach and golden rudd, also had a common of about 6lb. Fun on a pole with no puller kit!

My annual fly tying starts today which gives me around 2 months before the start of the season. The target will be;
30 FABS
30 Blobs
30 Boobies
30 Buzzers
30 assorted Nymphs
30 lures
30 Dry's
30 Emergers
that will require about 4 per day on average which is easy enough if you keep on top of it.
Despite having 1000's of flies there is always a need to refresh, try out new materials and tie new patterns.
Today i mostly be tying Grunters.

I rolled up at the river on Friday only to find out it was in flood and unfishable. Odd as we'd only had one night of rain that I was aware of. Fortunately, Leamington Anglers has a small,1 acre, rectangular pool very close to the river so I went there only to find 4 cars in the car park which is unusually busy. Turned out every one of them had done the same as me, not checked the river level and been caught out.
Anyway, it was 11 degrees so set up on a feeder with my back to the wind and had a fantastic day with roach, skimmers and a bream of sround 4.5lbs. A chap on the other side had 3 carp on pole and shouted across to me to ask whether I was aware that there was a deer in the trees behind me. Turned out it was trapped by the fence so he and I rounded it up and pushed it towards the gate where it duly ran off. Tried to get some close up video but forgot to press the play button. Bollocks.
Anyway, another fishing day added to my life.

I have never really tried feeder fishing. Was thinking of getting a feeder rod and givng it a go.
Any recomendations?
