A total of 6 of us went to HeronBrook fishery today for a nice day of fishing,
but on the way there, the floodgates of heaven decided to open it's doors on us!!
We started fishing at about 10am due to the rain and choose the meadow lake, I was fishing on Peg 5 and was mainly hitting 2lb carps with the odd 4lbers and loads of small tench. Mainly alternating baits from Maggots to Pellets seems to have paid off and feeding lightly at a time.. Think I might have about 60lb worth of fishing at the end of the day with an estimated about 20+ carps, 10+ tench, 2 chub.
Overall the fishery is a huge one but it was kept in tip top condition and very clean it was.
On the way back we manage to stumble on a fishery that allows fly and coarse fishing for £8 a whole day. The farmer was telling us that it's stocked with carps up to 23lb and huge barbel.. Wooooo definately got to try out that place one day.. maybe sometime next week after handing in my final project!!..
Enjoy the pictures in the meantime
The average size carp.
One of my mates into a nice carp.
Is this a koi?
Not sure isit a goldern tench or a goldern orf.
