First session on River Wey

Visted the Wey for the first outing of the new season, apart from being plagued by illegal canoists, I landed a very nice and quite angry(!) 9lb Common Carp. Caught on DB's Spicy Chicken mini boilies!

Farnham AC's Bagshot Lea


Had my first session on this water in April, blanket but it was quite windy/wet and cold. I did better a few weeks later when we fished near the island and I netted a small but resonable Tench on Spicy Shrimp.


We then had two nights where Dad got a nice Tench and I landed two Carp, a Mirror of about 12lb and during the night, a Common of 16lb.

Good session on Langmans for Pike

Had a nice 15lb Pike from Langmas yesterday, it was on Trout deadbait and fell to a float rig in the corner of the lake. I also missed a run on joe mackrel earlier. The weather was very mild with a stiff breeze.

I had been out on Xmas Eve but the lake was still 80% frozen so had to find a spot that was clear.

November fishing session report

Hi all, currently have a few days off work so wanted to give the river (wey) a good bashing. Went out last Thur and Fri, VERY warm weather, prolly the warmest Novemeber's fishing ever.


On Thur I blanked, I went on Park Farm, chatted to someone fly fishing for Pike, otherwise it seemed quite busy on the bank.


On Fri I fished from the other bank, had a couple of good bites, the result was a very nice fish of about 3 1/2lb from the end of the Park Farm. It fell to bread flake on a size 8, single large swan shot wrapped in modeling clay and the rig was a simple 4 turn water knot.
Next session might be the river again or even the lakes, depends on the weather!

Relief - a Chub at last

Well, after quite a few visits to the Wey and using all sorts of baits to try for Barbel, I decided to use the old favourite, Bread. I changed from a hair on size 8 hook to a size 4 to 10lb line and the biggest bit of bread. On the second cast I landed a 5lb Chub, did want to draw attention from other Anglers so I did'nt weight/photo it. Rod was a 1 1/2 TC Armalite with Baitrunner.

Now I carry a PDA phone I should be able to take video clips or even Blog from the Bank!
