Well after a month of no fishing I finally gave in and visited a new venue which is one of several lakes the club I have just joined (mainly for the river fishing ) . This one is close to my home , Arriving a 5.30am I decided against driving up to the car park as I could see a couple of guys bivvied up next to it and didnt want to disturb them . I had a walk round and on my way back bumped into a guy who it turned out was on the committee and he gave me a brew and gave me some info which has really...

Just endured 2 grueling sessions and to be fair I could have helped it , thursday rolled up at river to discover that just like ladybirds the sun brings out the anglers , at least 20 down and considering that during the preceding weeks I was lucky to see 2 or 3 , I ended up hiking to a remote spot that I had never fished , though it did take me 2 hours of walking and looking to decide , result never had a touch !!!!!!!! 2 guys I walked 100yrds past managed a couple of barbel but like me they were...
