Opening day came and went without a hitch. Our guests who grabbed the first booking almost as soon as we opened the site picked a beautiful weekend for fishing. In fact its was pretty good all round for whatever you were doing!
The sun shone, the swallows picked flies off the lake and the ghosties even paraded themselves around for all to see, sometimes at your feet. Teasing them to what they could catch. However, the 31Lber proved elusive despite his high visibility throughout the weekend.
That said, the guys had some entertaining sport including the landing of one of the bigger commons in the pool. Weighing in at 25Lb, it was the guys personal best.
The high pressure dominated the weather at the weekend and it remained gorgeous. Probably not ideal fishing conditions and they went off the feed on Saturday a little. However, further sport was had.
As none of these fish have been fished for before (Ive not fished it), with the exception of ghosties, they are a bit skittish we think. I think with hindsight, we think that stealth might be the order of the day. But hey, we all know how fishing can be….gloriously brilliant and extremely frustrating and everything in between!
Looking froward to the next guests to give the lake a bash!
