I'll admit the Pebley Res trip was a washout, but to be fair I wasn't to know they'd drained the water out to fill up the Chesterfield canal. A future visit is in order to where the water is - the Chesterfield Canal! But this visit to Dale Pond was brilliant. We both caught more than 20 fish, and check out the quality of the Rudd.

Another bad idea from Russ - a session at Pebley Res. We know its supposed to be a hard carp water, but the bream are supposed to be catchable. They weren't....some water might help though.

"C'mon" says Russ "Just one at session on the river before the season shuts". Bad idea cos when the sleet blows in with a gale force wind  -  your a mile from the car park. We got about an hours fishing in before we were forced to abandon the whole session. Roll on better weather.

It hasn't warmed up at all, but this is much more my style at this time of year.  I took a few hours off mid week and did a bit of pike fishing. It was great to have a wander round and get  a bit of exercise and talk to other anglers, although it was pretty quiet. It was the best fishing session I've had so far this year - are you reading this, Paul?
