Well 22 degrees was the forecast with no cloud 2day...more like 27 to be honest, anyhow lets just say it was the hottest day so far this year.Headed to springwater with future son inlaw and his pops and his bro(not a cloud in sight)...it was dam warm and getting warmer by the minute. So arrived around 10:am and it was hot and faced with flat calm conditions
Went with my usual tactics and had swirls and no takes..bit of a re-think and tried a foam suspender and got one


Well as you notice with lack of fins a fresh stockie....well the lake was bubbling with fish but not much taking the fly(the kitchen sink was being chucked at one point)....so it was yo big G sort it out you have been here b4...who me??..says I...yes you numpty...who said that..me
Anyhow as i said fish where rising everywhere but not too many catching but i woke up...after a slap.














Well as you see i got a few,...well 9 or more with loads lost(long range release tatics)....anyhow i will leave you with pic of my arm and i have fishermans skin....so if i got burnt you can imagine when i say i seen at least 16 redskins today.


Sitting hear now thinking of poor guys with no hats on and less hair than me(and im bald)...well burnt the poor soles.

Is this a public service announcement to watch out for sun burn or an advert for lotions?

Nice ta see ye had a positive skirmish on the silver ripples.

ARRRRRRRGHH JIM LAD......well i raided the pool.

Awell after the sunburn...E45 cream and a couple of beers im the white dude doing the somersaults

not knocking you bigtrout, (or should that be redskin trout) as you did well in difficult conditions, but every one of those fish has a deformed upper jaw!!
where were they caught, and indeed stocked from?
regards
bert

Just a little skirmish MrT......you work on the lotion

Good one G looks like you have fine day ,i was going to go fishing myself but decided to have few beers instead.

Hi Bert.......first time in 10yrs i fished this place, not sure on the stolking but all the fish were caught 10ft or less from bank,...apart from one with no fins i would say weight loss on others means they have been there for a while....anywere you stood on bank fish were swimming past you,..always a sign of loads of fish in a fishery.

I might be having a few for the pain of sunburn at the mo

So, were they all caught on the suspender buzzer then?
