Thumbs up Harelaw

I fished the harelaw dam today for a few hours before the sun burned through and what a fine boat/bank venue it is, it's about 100 acres with loads of features and bays.
I caught 2 on cdc's with loads more missed and lost.
Both the fish fought really well but the second fish had my fast action #7 rod bent double, a fine fin perfect fish of about 3lb.
Well worth a visit guys

no mine didn't bend but the best part of fishing, is enjoying what you are doing and when the views are spectacular and the company's who needs to catch all the time two blanks all year aint bad and id rather wait for one of the biggies at harelaw

There's one thing for sure, his rod didn't break today because he was using a good rod (redington) and not a piece of **** hardy
You should give it a go woody, I know you struggle on the big waters but it's well worth a go and at £26 for two c&r on a boat it's well worth it.

Thanks for the comments guys, it has been hard lately but the fishery is still in its infancy and hopefully all work and facilities will be completed for the 2009 season. I appreciate all custom and support.
