The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

I fished Parsonage Farm Lake at High Easter this morning with a cane rod but more importantly a Watermole centrepin. Both performed admirably with 8 tench to 4lbs, not the biggest but great fun on this tackle. A couple of Bream and quite a few Rudd up to a pound made this a most enjoyable morning. The wind made casting a problem later on so I switched to a Homers avon style 10' 2 piece with a Mitchell 440. All were caught on corn.

All look very nice - including the tench!

Water is down a bit?

Nice looking Tench. I won’t say the ‘pin is nicer but it does look the business! Well done.

Well done Sir... I was hoping to get over there this week myself with my Wizard and Rapidex combo, seeing how low the water was is a shock... it's normally just below the platforms

Well done on the Tench and Rudd

A great account and pictures of an excellent outing! Everything pictured is superb!

Hmmm, not sure that's a true tench

Please don't Dave, I just spilled my tea all down me front!

Nice fish.

Superb stuff Fredline - the Tench are proving most elusive round here. They beat me again on Sunday last but I will be out there again this weekend.

Farmer Giles has been watering his spuds and taken 4' of water but there is more than enough, I had 6' 2 rod lengths out. If I could Wallis cast I could have reached the middle and deeper water.
