A break in the cold weather allowed for a chance to cast a line on the water now that those nuisance ice flows have all but dissipated. I met with good friend Borko and we fished in the preferred pegs we mostly fish at during the course of the year.
I decided to go feeder all day however i did take my poles with me just in case the fish fed on the feeder line then i would have a chance of catching by float , well that was the theory.
I decided on casting out a few times to 'feel' the bottom and i must have cast 5-6 times and all appeared ok. So i clipped up at approx. 40metres and i had a drop of 13-15 seconds approx. I then set up a further rod shorter by at least 10 metres and i gained a drop of 9-11 seconds. So my plan was ready , all i need is some fish so using a larger feeder with fine groundbait and few offerings i cast 2 amounts on each feeder line - the trap was set ! ummm 😑
I decided to go light on both rods so an 18's hook was on both with 70 cm lengths of 0.10 line .

Weather was not too bad but a cool keen wind left to right kept your head covered up
View to the right and as you can see its a long pathway that could easily place 20 more anglers. Yes , trolley for some but its all on the flat so no hills to push up.
Looking towards town where another 4-6 pegs could be placed possibly
The parking is good , room for 20 cars on the ticket ( Saturday you are charged and Sunday is normally free) Cafe nearby is normally open from PÃ¥sk till October so refreshments and snacks can be purchased.
As you can see in the water the bottom is very stoney so ideal for sitting out on a platform from the bank . Its ideal really as with the feeder your line will be settling on various contours on the bottom especially with some depths you are casting out to are between 6-10 metres so a bit further out helps that angle . (i suppose to miss those features on the bottom its best to cast quite far out ?)
As yet not sure if we should allow that as some pegs are slightly deeper just off the bank so an angler could have a disadvantage but we shall review this closer to the time . Also to consider the time of year when colder whether anglers want to have waders on ?
Nothing caught so we wait for another day
Later in the year the plan is to run at least three matches - so far we plan to use Reel only so that can include Bolo , Slider and Feeder but we might just go feeder only .
