Managed to catch this 18lb 6pz lovely common, took a lot of work moved swims once , but worth it due to the fish being one of the original strain of commons in the lake👍🏻🎣

A quiet 24hrs on the lake. Pleasant pegs and a toilet at the carpark.

Fished swim 5&6 with a non fishing guest. Peg was freshly edged and barked, there’s a landing net, sack and cradle for use. Space would of been too small for two bivvies if someone else had come on the peg. This end is the shallows. This time of year lots of weed so is a less desirable peg. Saw lots of shoulders and many a carp in the “do not fish past this sign” area. Bailiff was very helpful. She gave me a few pointers and a weekly catch report and then was on her way, great! Only problem was the crayfish. I don’t know if this end is particularly bad but I couldn’t leave rigs out for longer than an hour and a half without reeling in to see they’ve chomped up my boilies just leaving the plastic corn toppers behind. Would visit again regardless but would try to bag one of the favourable dam end swims.
