Why is it that as soon as the close season begins the rivers looks its best for ages?
I have fished the last three weekends on a near untouched lake trying to find whatever will take my bait, albeit for the time being its just been Bream whilst i’ve been there. This weekend an attempt will be made to see what predators or in the lake… at 15-20 acres its a challenge to say the least but hopefully something nice will grace my net over the weekend. Its barely fished so i have no idea what is in there and with only once seeing an angler fishing it - there is a buzz about the place for me to find something special. I’m hoping this weekend i can find atleast one Perch to really set the off season campaign in to action…! I was told a few months back of a number of pike in the lake but on questioning the perch population there was no information to hand.
Maybe its just waiting for someone to target them, and hopefully that person is me! I’ll let you know how the place progresses, as atleast for now i have until June 16th to see if its back to river or not…! Please oh please let the Perch come to see me, the place is so special and off the beaten track it will be a great pleasure to find some stripeys hidden out there somewhere!
I’ll keep you informed!
