Wasping

Bit of a rush about on Tuesday but I snatched few moments...

Only a very brief point the camera out of the car stop at what turned out to be a very well known spot indeed. I give you Three Holes. Plenty of gold and silver action in the pads.


Just had to turn the car off the main drag once work had been turned off and  a pleasant hour on the roach, rudd and indeterminates. Clear, shallow, often weedy and with a slew of swan mussels. The terrapin was in hiding today



On with a worm and a veritable swarm of wasps fell victim to the worm's wriggly charms. Tench are still resident though reportedly small so it's very tempting to just lace a couple of spots with a good old particle mix. No chopped worm though..


Chores done it was off to the now Quite Green Lagoon to melt a few pva bags for an hour.. Good choice as it happened. Lost one tench of about 5 lb noddying about with the teaspoon net pressed into service and a very tiny little fella (it was a male) that would have found it hard to hit 2lb. Any size tench makes me smile hopelessly.

  1. Where you catch the tench. Fens or locally ?

  2. Fancy on my local res. They go to 8 plus but at the moment lots of smaller ones coming through.
