A bitter north easterly breeze slowed catches for some 05.03.11
Although a considerable amount of fish were lost in December and January when Lake 2 froze over at Wick Water South Cerney, fishing proper has resumed. Keen anglers braved the cold northerly wind on a grey weekend with some fine catches, notably several Pike up to 20lb were caught in Lake 23 by Gary Dodson, demonstrating he had the touch this weekend.
I spent a few minutes with Marcus while he caught a nice Mirror Carp in Lake 2 and demonstrated his bating up. It must have been cold as the maggots hardly wriggled.
