Wet 'n' Wild Carp Fishing

I had a difficult choice to make last Saturday. Go shopping in the wind and rain, or go fishing. No contest really, so I sorted out my gear on Friday night and left first thing.

I arrived at a small local water at around 6:30 and it was blowing a hoolie wit gusts up to around 50mph and raining cats and dogs. Still I figured it should make for a quiet day on the lake (in fact I didn't see anybody else all day, other than the bailiff). It should also make the fish easy to find. A wind like this on a fairly mild day, and they were bound to be right on the far end of the wind. I had a quick scout around, just to make sure, and was right.

I got my bivvy set up in record time and pegged it down hard against the fierce wind.

A few handfuls of pellets and chopped boilies went in tight to the margins under an overhanging bush and another few went about 10 feet from the bank into a 3 foot wide channel I have fished to in the past.

I put a single Carple Steamer Lobster on a simple Snakebite rig and dropped it into the margins by hand.

The same setup went on to my other rod and this was cast into the channel. I was just settling into my Terry Hearn recliner when my alarm screamed and the line sped off my Shimano baitrunner on the margins setup. The result after a short but spirited fight was a 9lb 4oz mirror. A nice start to the session and it was still only 7:30. The next 3 hours accounted for a further 5 mirrors culminating with a fish of 12lb 2oz. All of these fish had come from tight to the margins.

I had not had a peep from my other setup, but I was confident that there would be some movement through the channel. However, as I had returned the 12 ponder, my micron screamed. I scrambled over to my other rod and struck hard. I knew straight away that this was not another mirror, as they tend to be strong but slow on this water. This fish raced right across the lake in just a few seconds. It put up a great fight, but I eventually slipped my landing net under a beautiful, full-bodied, dark gold common. It weighed in at 20lb 8oz.

The rest of the day produced a further 5 high singles - all mirrors again. I was soaked through to my boxers, but happy and satisfied with a great day. Around 100lb in around 9 hours. Mind you, that was poor compared to the ?300 my wife spend in just 4 hours at the sales!

Halford on the Dry Fly: Streamcraft of a Master Angler (Fly-Fishing Classics Series)

Halford on the Dry Fly: Streamcraft of a Master Angler (Fly-Fishing Classics Series)
Now acknowledged as the symbolic father of modern dry-fly fishing, Frederic M. Halford was known during his remarkable fishing career as the high priest of the art, the man whose milestone books codified the entire world of the dry-fly angler more than a century ago. Halford on the Dry Fly excerpts the core wisdoms from the original Halford book that launched the dry-fly revolution --and has influenced every generation of serious fly fishers since-- Dry-Fly Fishing in Theory and Practice. Halford on the Dry Fly shows a first-rate angling mind at work, a gifted naturalist who witnessed an historic moment in the development of fly fishing. No place else in the literature of fly fishing have the original basics been so clearly laid out, writes Paul Schullery.
