Diary of an average angler

Who favours traditional methods & baits

fisherman

This diary dates back to a holiday in 2003 when I think the urge to get back into fishing took off. From around 2007 the trips became more frequent with 2010/11 probably being the peak of activity.
Things again pick up in 2020 - a sort of rebirth!

Something a bit different, a Fathers' Day weekend away with my son who had dabbled with fishing a bit before but was keen to learn more. And it was an opportunity for us to chat as we don't get together that often. He was fishing with a 13ft Fishtec Multi Float rod that I had given him years before, along with a Mitchell Prince reel, also a gift from me. I took a couple of small carp off the surface on the Friday evening and we then returned to the lake on Saturday morning.
