Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 17/3

Unsettled weather created difficult fishing conditions at Town Parks Fishery this week.

On the Specimen Lake Cornwall rod Guy Radford fished through freezing conditions from peg 10. Redford banked his first Carp around 3.30 am but after resting the net on the unhooking mat the net froze and had to be quickly put back into the water to allow the fish to swim free!

Three more Carp, all good doubles, were netted by dawn but Radford unhooked them in the water to avoid stressing them out too much. Cell boilies fished mid water tempted the fish although, due to the freezing conditions the baits had been in the water for some 15 hours before being taken!
