On the upper Match Lake Regular Rod Metcalf continued to find Carp from various peg although the fish were elusive at times. After an afternoon of Silver fishing Metcalf noticed movement in the reeds bordering the car park as he was packing up. Although the light was fading Metcalf fished a single piece of white sweetcorn tight to the reeds from his pole at 16mts. After a few minutes Metcalf had banked a sizable Carp and followed this one with three more!

Sunday regular Fred Rowe managed to bank a couple of good Carp from the same peg although one retrieve was made more difficult as Rowe’s line had frozen to the rings of his rod as the daytime temperature hovered around freezing!!

Some nice Roach were reported deep near the bottom as were the Bream.

With the colder weather expected to remain for the foreseeable future the fish should hopefully stay on the feed!
