What
a break!
I stupidly broke my ankle 3 weeks before we
were due to start our 16th consecutive fortnight in June at Lonsdale
Park and after much deliberation we decided to cancel. We were almost as upset about this as having
to break the news to fellow Lonsdale Park veterans Colin & Wendy, as we’d
arranged to meet up again this year.
We’d been getting reports from Colin & Wendy of how well it was
fishing in our absence.
Paul & Val very kindly re-accommodated
us for two weeks commencing 13/9/2014 instead.
At last, September arrived & we set off for a fortnight of
relaxation by the lakes on the tranquil Lonsdale Park estate to catch fish and
enjoy the wildlife; Gina saw a Kingfisher flying around Lonsdale Lake, which
was a real treat as she’d never seen one before, she was lucky enough to see it
twice more while we were there. As
pleasure anglers we only fish during the day and started late most days as we
kept lying in! The fishing seemed to be
as good as it is in June even if though it was a bit harder to get the Roach going,
but it was nice to catch a few Gudgeon.
Here is a selection of Gina’s fish. All but the 12lber were all caught close
using a light feeder rod & reel with 6lb line with a small method feeder
filled with method mix & 6mm banded pellet on size 16 hook. She had a few hours on my carp rod and just
as Paul arrived in his Land Rover for a chat the buzzer went and she was on it
in a flash.
